How do you prevent medical malpractice?
By following Best Practices within the industry, creating and following (and updating) your own Policies and Procedures, documenting everything, and running occassional internal and external audits. Your P&P should include a strong set Quality Assurance controls. Overt, accidental malpractice, being accidental, is very hard to avoid -- as it's an accident. An example that comes to mind was a nurse, recently arrived in the USA and with limited language skills in reading American English, who almost adminsitered 100 times the Heparin dose the doctor prescribed -- in her country, ampules contained a different concentration. While this is easily armchair-quaterbacked, everyone had followed policy (and equal opportunity law) in this case. So the mistake, had it occurred, would have been, if not understandable, explainable (note that existing policies are what caught the mistake too). What would have helped in a malpractice hearing is demonstrating that strict procedures have been devised, are followed, and adherence is continually monitored and evaluated. Courts and peer reviews tend to treat a simple accident far less critically than chronic negligence.

The answer is 4.6 and you can get the answer in two similar ways:
First approach
24 hours a day for 7 days a week= 168 hours per week
168 hours per week for 52 weeks= 8736 hours per year
8736 hours a year in addition to the 832 hours off= 9568 hours total per year
9568 is the total hours needed by FTEs
FTEs work 40 hours a work week for 52 weeks=2080 hours a year.
9568 hours needed divided by the 2080 hours FTEs provide for a year= 4.6 FTEs needed
(24 x 7)= 168 hr/week
(168 x 52)= 8736 hr/yr
(8736 + 832)= 9568 hr/yr needed
(40 x 52)= 2080 hr/yr one FTE works
9568 / 2080= 4.6 FTEs
Second approach
24 hours a day for 365 days a year= 8760 hours per year
8760 hours per year in addition to the 832 hours off= 9592 hours total per year
9592 is the total hours needed by FTEs
FTEs work 40 hours a week.
40 hours a week divided by seven days a week= 5.714285714... hours per day (repeating decimals)
FTEs work 5.714285714... hours per day for 365 days a year= 2085.714285714... hours per year (repeating decimals)
9592 hours needed divided by the 2085.714285714... hours FTEs provide for a year= 4.59890410958904... FTEs (repeating decimals)
Approximately 4.6 FTEs needed
(24 x 365)= 8760
(8760 + 832)= 9592 hr/yr
(40 / 7)=5.714285714... hr/day
(5.714285714 x 365)= 2085.714285714... hr/yr one FTE works
(9592 / 2085.714285714)= 4.59890410958904... FTEs
Approximately 4.6 FTEs
