Question

A major problem for a hospital is managing the database containing patient records. Blair General Hospital is considering two policies: Policy 1 Dispose of a patient’s records if he or she has not reentered the hospital in the last five years. Policy 1 Dispose of a patient’s records if he or she has not reentered the hospital in the last ten years. The following information is available: If a patient has been hospitalized, there is a 30% chance he or she will reenter the hospital during the next year. If a patient has not been hospitalized during the last year, there is a 20% chance he or she will be hospitalized during the next year. If a patient has not been hospitalized during the last two years, there is a 10% chance he or she will be hospitalized during the next year. If a patient has not been hospitalized during the last three years, there is a 5% chance he or she will be hospitalized during the next year. If a patient has not been hospitalized during the last four years, there is a 3% chance he or she will be hospitalized during the next year. If a patient has not been hospitalized during the last five years, there is a 2% chance he or she will be hospitalized during the next year. If a patient has not been hospitalized for at least six years, there is a 1% chance he or she will be hospitalized during the next year. Assume that the hospital admits an average of 10,000 new patients each year. For each policy, estimate the number of patient records that will be in the system.†
