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.

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?
