c. Calculate the projected number of potential unscheduled S/KI TB Patient visits per
year using the following formula:
A = Estimated eligible veteran population for the facility from the DPPB for any specified
future year
B=
Current eligible veteran population for the facility from DPPB
C=
Current number of potential unscheduled S/KI TB patient visits
D=
Projected potential unscheduled S/KI TB patient visits per year
(A B)x C = D
EXAMPLE 2 - All specific numbers are for illustrative purposes only.
(A)
400,000
-
Estimated population for a future year (e.g., 400,000 for the year 2000)
(B)
450,000
-
Current veteran population )e.g., 450,000)
0.88
-
Result of A B
(C)
480
= Current number of unscheduled S/KI TB patient visits per year (e.g., year 2000)
(D)
422.4 -
Results of A B x C which is the estimated number of unscheduled visits of S/KI
TB patients for future year (e.g., year 2000)
d. Provide the number of designated TB exam/treatment or special procedure rooms as
determined below using the potential SIM TB patient visit estimated generated in 1. I.c. above.
CALCULATED POTENTIAL UINSCHEDULED ESIGNATED TB EXAM/TREATMENT
D
S/KI TB PATIENTS VISITS (PER YEAR)
ROOMS
500 OR LESS
Use emergency area isolation room
501-1000
One additional TB room
Each additional 1000
One additional room
Designated TB rooms determined above may be located in the walk-in clinic module and/or in other
modules to meet local operating procedures and needs.
