Abstract

Hours per patient day (HPPD) is a metric that is easy to use in determining budgeted FTE and in comparing staffing across organizations. There are many considerations in determining the appropriate HPPD. The combination of automated patient acuity, staffing, and human resource systems provide a wealth of information for determining the budgeted HPPD and in making defensible requests for adjustments in HPPD. No matter how much data we have about staffing levels, nurse education and skill levels, the environment of care, or patient acuity, the real key is determining the outcomes we need to compare staffing against. We must quantify the savings associated with positive outcomes and get this information in the hands of the public so they can make informed decisions.

每个病人每天工作的时间:不是问题,也不是解决办法。
每个病人每天工作时间(HPPD)是一个很容易用于确定预算FTE和比较组织间人员配备的指标。在确定合适的HPPD时需要考虑许多因素。自动化患者敏锐度、人员配置和人力资源系统的结合为确定预算HPPD和提出合理的HPPD调整请求提供了丰富的信息。无论我们有多少关于人员配备水平、护士教育和技能水平、护理环境或患者敏锐度的数据,真正的关键是确定我们需要比较人员配备的结果。我们必须量化与积极成果相关的节约,并将这些信息提供给公众,使他们能够做出明智的决定。
