the cost of supplies for one month on a tele unit?

I am writing a hypothetical budget related to operating a telemetry unit. I have looked online for information on the cost of supplies for one month on a tele unit. Now this doesnt have to be exact, but I just need a ballpark figure to work with to get a start and I have no clue on a number that would be reasonable. Any help?
Your staffing is going to be your biggest cost, so look into what ratios a telemetry unit would need, what kind of staff you would find there, and what average salary is for your area.

Staffing is another aspect of the project. What I am needing is supply costs. Thank You!

How many pts, expected LOS, ask hospital supply dept for a quote. Are you supplying everything such as domestic products toilet paper, sharps bins, payi for waste disposal etc, equipment hire, I could go on......

How big is your unit? High acuity or low acuity? Will your unit take vents? Will the unit utilize drips? What monitoring system will you be using?Learning and mastering the operating budget - www.strategiesfornursemanagers.com © 2014
