Your hospital has built a new freestanding facility that includes a 36- bed medical telemetry care unit. The patients and staff from the existing smaller units will be combined into the new unit. The current budget for each of these units is:

Average Daily 

Census (ADC)    11.9     22.0 

Acuity               1.6        1.85 

Workload         3.8          3.6 

Productivity - % 19.0    16.5 

The budgets of the two units will be combined with no changes. Calculate the budget for the new unit including the ADC, acuity, workload, hours per patient day (HPPD), shifts/24 hours, productivity factor and variable direct care full time equivalents (FTEs). Please show all work.
