Hello

A clinic administrator is attempting to determine what her needs are for hiring more interpreters for her clinic setting. She currently has only one interpreter. Conduct an analysis on the data provided to identify the clinic's language needs. Are there any trends of increasing languages spoken over the past year in the clinic? What are your results of your descriptive statistical analysis? What other data elements would be helpful for a researcher to collect?

The clinic is located to Houston, Tx and it is a specialty clinic for Sherman’s Health Group. Maximum capacity for the clinic is 100 people safely not including the employees. We only have one interpret for Mandarin Chinese. But we need and interpret for Arabic, and German languages. All of the current employees are bilingual for Spanish and English languages. In the last past year, we have seen an increase in Arabic interpretation for the clinic. Also, German interpretation as well has increased. In 2017 the clinic saw the total number of 13,000 patients for the year. On a week average, the clinic saw 250 patients per week. If you multiple 250 patient times 52 weeks in a year your total is 13,000 for 2017. In 2017 you had 6,000 English/Spanish patients, 2,000 Mandarin patients, 4,000 patient’s Arabic, and 1,000 German patients. The clinic is only open Monday through Friday. The clinic averages at less 50 patients every day from Monday to Friday. In 2018 there was an increase of patients for the years. In 2018 you had an average of 280 per week that came to visit that clinic. The total for 2018 was 14,560 patients for the year. The difference increase was 12%. If you take the increasing amount which was 1,560 and divide it by the previous year total 13,000. You come up with .12 move you decimal to place to the right and that equal 12%. In 2018 you had 6,000 English/Spanish patients,2,000 Mandarin patients 5,000 patients were Arabic and 1,560 German patients.

Mean: 13,000 + 14560= 27,560 now divided 27560 by 2 = 13,780

Median: 13,000 + 14560= 27,560 now divided 27560 by 2 = 13,780
