Operations Manual II: For an IBM 370 Program Computing the 1969, 1971, 1972, and 1973 Ratios of Hospital Beds and Utilization-Rates to Resident Populations for Urban America (UAs) and Quasi Rural America (QRAs)

摘要

The second operations manual is a working volume, designed to provide any programmer with the essential elements of programming and input data needed to produce the listings of all Urban Areas, Quasi Rural Areas, and included cities (i.e. SMSAs), along with the five population-based hospital-performance ratios of interest--for 1969, 1971 and 1972. The five ratios provided for all UAs, QRAs, and SMSAs for those three years are: beds, admissions, patient-days, average occupancy rate, and average length of stay. (The 1st three are express as ratios per 1000 residents). This manual also contains the computer program for retrieving 1973 statistics analogous to those produced and shown in Volume 1 for the other three years.
