The RHIT supervisor for the filing and retrieval section of Community Clinic is developing a
staffing schedule for the year. The clinic is open 260 days per year and has an average of
600 clinic visits per day. The standard for filing records is 60 records per hour. The standard
for retrieval of records is 40 records per hour. Given these standards, how many filing
hours will be required daily to retrieve and file records for each clinic day?
