Modern Managed Hospitals (MMH) is a national for-profit chain of hospitals. Management wants to survey patients discharged this past year to obtain patient satisfaction profiles. It wishes to use a sample of such patients. Several sampling techniques are described below. Categorize each technique as simple random sample, stratified sample, systematic sample, cluster sample, or convenience sample.
(a)
Obtain a list of patients discharged from all MMH facilities. Divide the patients according to length of hospital stay (2 days or less, 3–7 days, 8–14 days, more than 14 days). Draw simple random samples from each group.

(b)
Obtain lists of patients discharged from all MMH facilities. Number these patients, and then use a random-number table to obtain the sample.

(c)
Randomly select some MMH facilities from each of five geographic regions, and then include all the patients on the discharge lists of the selected hospitals.

(d)
At the beginning of the year, instruct each MMH facility to survey every 500th patient discharged.

(e)
Instruct each MMH facility to survey 10 discharged patients this week and send in the results.

The sampling techniques are given as follows:

a) stratified sample.

b) simple random sample.

c) cluster sample.

d) systematic sample.

e) convenience sample.

Samples may be classified as:

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. Then, a equal proportion of each group is surveyed.

Then:

In item a, patient are divided into groups, and samples from each group are taken, hence stratified sampling is used.

In item b, all patients are listed, and a random number table is used to select them, hence it is a simple random sample.

In item c, the patients are divided into groups according to regions, and all elements of each group are sampled, hence cluster sampling was used.

In item d, one every kth patient was sampled, with k = 500, hence it is a systematic sample.

In item e, any of the discharged patients can be sampled, hence they are sampled according to convenience.
