Question 826329: A Medical Assistant takes 30 minutes to process a patient before a Nurse Practitioner sees a patient. The Medical Assistant works 9am to 4pm and sees patients continuously except for a one hour lunch break. The number of patients in this healthcare facility has doubled the growth to about 12 patients a day. The Director of Human Resource is to determine whether they should hire a contractor to work with the team or not. The hired staff would be for three months (90 days). If we were to compare wages alone and not include the benefits, with contractor charging $18.50 per hour and hiring full-time status is $14.50 per hour, how many additional staff and of which type should the Director of Human Resource hire?
