Patient Throughput Calculator accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • Patients per hour = completed patients / operating hours. Target gap = target - actual throughput.

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • Completed Patients: 480
  • Operating Hours: 40 hr
  • Target Throughput: 14 patients/hr

Expected outputs

  • Patients per Hour: 12
  • Target Gap per Hour: 2
  • Throughput vs Target: 85.71%

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • The calculators use simple transparent formulas rather than vendor-specific analytics models.
  • Inputs are processed locally in the browser and are not stored by Calwarden.
  • This is operations planning math, not medical, legal, staffing, billing, or financial advice.

Unit handling

  • Completed Patients accepts numeric values.
  • Operating Hours accepts values in hr.
  • Target Throughput accepts values in patients/hr.
  • Throughput vs Target is displayed as a percentage.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
  • Percent outputs are displayed with two decimal places.
  • Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
