NurseStaff dr Version 1 1 A comprehensive nurse staffing analysis package Designed by Andrew J Palizewski Francis Hamilton Striker III 1988 Preface This manual is for the PACU software package which was written for Cindy Christensen the Head Nurse of the Post Anesthesia Care Unit PACU in the University of Michigan Hospital It will compute the time average maximum and minimum number of patients in the PACU for two different modes of processing which are explained herein The software is intended for use with an IBM PS 2 or a compatible machine The program was made especially user friendly so that a person without prior computer experience would have no problem operating it We hav spent many hours perfecting the operation of the software and entering the past data We hope that this software package and User s Manual is of some help to the nurses of the PACU Good luck using it Andrew Paliszewski Francis Striker University of Michigan College of Engineering Ann Arbor Michigan April 1988 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Section A How the Program Works 1 Section B How to run the Program L How to start up the Program 2 Drive A versus Drive B e Sample Run thru the Program II Modes of Processing T7 DAY IN MONTH oad DAY IN YEAR III Where the Results go 8 9 File and Screen Options How to Print the Results Section C Data files I Set Up of Data Records 9
15. TH This mode of processing takes only one month of data into account when figuring statistics The month is chosen by the user during the operation of the program The day of the week Monday thru Friday which is to be considered is chosen in the same manner For example if you would like to acquire results for the Mondays in March You would choose DAY IN MONTH processing by entering a 1 when Figure 4 appears The month is chosen by entering the appropriate three letter month abbreviation Don t forget the CAPS LOCK key To choose the day enter the two letter abbreviation for the appropriate day As stated above this mode only takes into account the data from the day of the week specified in the one month which is chosen DAY IN YEAR This mode is similar to the DAY IN MONTH mode except it uses data from the whole year When the day of the week Monday thru Friday is chosen in the DAY IN YEAR mode every day in every month is taken into account when computing the output statistics For example if DAY IN YEAR mode is chosen and Monday is chosen as the day of the week to be considered every Monday in the whole year is taken into consideration during output calculations This mode enables you to look at daily trends throughout the whole year instead of just the daily trends for a given month which the DAY IN MONTH mode gives S WHERE THE RESULTS GO This program enables you to choose where you want the output results to go The

17. haracters from the screen For example if by accident two commas were entered when only one was needed One can be removed by using the arrow keys to place the cursor to the right of one of them and striking the delete key Then the arrow keys can be use to replace the cursor to where it was prior to the detection of the error WordStar also provides a simple way to insert data into the text This is done with the insert function Suppose for example that a data record looked like this TU 2 9 35 1045 Clearly a decimal point is missing in the departure time In order to correct this error use the arrow keys to place the cursor on the 4 Strike the INSERT key Notice that an Insert On message lights up in the upper right side of the screen Next type the decimal point You will notice that the 45 moves to the right one space and a decimal point is inserted in the number Now strike the INSERT key again and notice that the Insert On message disappears from the 12 Screen Once again reposition the cursor so that it is in place where you left off It s that easy If you are adding more data to a file which already has a number of real records in it simply use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the end of the document strike the RETURN key and carry on with data entry The same methods can be used to edit this file At the end of the data entry session you need to save your work First make sure that there are no blank line
