turnover measures the length of time needed for a checked-out room in a
hospital to be occupied. Low turnover rates should be measured to determine if
adequate care was granted to patients, whereas high turnover should be measured
to determine if a patient was neglected ("16 Top Hospital KPIs for 2021 Reporting", 2021). Thus, a
high turnover will lead to increased revenue. Secondly, the frequency of
medication errors measures the competency of nurses; therefore, if the hospital
has a low frequency of errors, it will lead to increased revenue due to the
avoidance of lawsuits. Finally, staffing skilled employees and regular training
measure the firm's operations in terms of efficiency. Therefore, good staffing
decisions will lead to efficiency and increasing revenue.
