The total hours of PACU transport follow a trapezoidal pattern, with load increasing through the morning (08:00–11:59), plateauing in the afternoon and evening (12:00–15:59 and 16:00–19:59), and then decreasing at night (20:00–23:59). Each transporter spends approximately one hour per four-hour period transporting. To inform transporter staffing decisions from these data, pairwise comparisons were generated between each workday's “light” periods (08:00–11:59 vs 20:00–23:59) and “busy” periods (12:00–15:59 vs 16:00–19:59). The probability distribution of these pairwise comparisons were compared with normal distributions using Shapiro-Wilk tests and standardized normal probability plots. Then, for repeated statistical power analyses to guide PACU transporter staffing, Type II errors were considered at least as costly as Type I errors. Setting α = β = 0.05, we determined how many days of data were required to differentiate between the “light” periods (08:00–11:59 vs 20:00–23:59) and the “busy” periods (12:00–15:59 vs 16:00–19:59), using the minimum actionable difference of one hour per four-hour period.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Both pairwise comparisons were normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk <em>W</em> &gt; 0.99). At α=β=0.05, proper differentiation of hours of PACU transport workload between four-hour periods required total transport data from at least 18 out of every 100 workdays for the “light” four-hour periods, or 44 out of every 100 workdays for the “busy” four-hour periods. Relaxing the combined error rate to 0.15 reduced the day requirements to 36 and 15.
