There is one more chapter in Kaplan txt buk called ‘Information system’ .I didn’t find neither any lectures nor notes on this topic .is this chapter not important?
Great lecture series. Thank you! The examples are good and it created the perfect context to understand the overall theme, the teaching method is great and the videos are broken down in reasonable sizes — not to long and not to short.
Where are our lectures for chapter 20 and 21? 馃榾 ….. or are the chapters excluded from the syllabus.
Isn’t bed occupancy rate relevant for a profit healthcare provider, whilst empty beds in a public facility would mean nobody is sick to be hospitalized? Whereas also the ratio patients per nurse would indicate the quality that is bound to be provided by the facility given a nurse has ample time to attend to patients, the fewer patients per nurse indicating a good nurse availability or based on a targeted/benchmark patients per nurse ratio being better. The higher the rate that is indicating a lower nurse availability which is poor service due to less time a nurse has to attend to patients? (Based on a benchmark ratio)
Empty beds will be a result of the hospital being too big, and is therefore a measure of efficiency!!
Having more nurses per patient might well mean that the patient gets better quality care, but not necessarily (it depends on how good the nurses are), and it is not a measure of how good the care it. To measure the quality of the care we need to measure things like how quickly people get better.

Sir in Cbe exam whether a presentation of the answers are enough or the Calculations must be shown in section C questions
John Moffat says
You must show your workings for Section C questions – each bit of the workings is marked.

I see your messages about reading Ch. 20&21 yourselves.
Are they like Ch.19 not very common?

Thank you for the comment 馃檪
With regard to chapters 20 and 21 – they are in the syllabus, but there are no lectures. The chapters are for you to read yourself 馃檪
