3. Using data contained in the first questions, complete the table below and determine the Average Length of Stay (ALOS) for the following three units. Show your work. Unit # Beds Patient Days # Discharges A 110 C 96 85 D Average Length of Stay (ALOS) 2 What is the ALOS for the unit you identified earlier at an 88% occupancy rate? 35 x 8.8 = 3212 You have determined the unit for which Sandra must make FTE projections. For the remaining questions in this section, refer to the figures used and or obtained related to the unit identified in Question 1. Additional information includes: the budgeted hours of care per patient day (HPPD-budgeted) is 8.8 each employee receives 17% paid non-productive hours/year 108% 10 Sandra determines the allocation of the HPPD to nursing and non-nursing personnel. Sandra is not included in the HPPD calculation, but the unit secretary is included Nurses will work 12 hours, techs will work 8 hours 4. Calculate the number of direct FTEs needed for the unit. Show the formulas used and all calculations. 5. Calculate the TOTAL FTEs needed accounting for nonproductive time. s 6. Sharon now knows how many total FTEs are currently needed on the unit to provide safe, quality care to the patients on the unit. However, with a 20% projected increase in occupancy rate and average length of stay remaining steady on the unit, how will the required FTEs be affected? 7. Calculate the TOTAL FTES required to reflect an increased patient volume of 20% (don't forget to account for nonproductive time). 18. Sharon must inform human resources how full timers and part-timers FTEs to hire. Show the formulas used and all calculations. HR reminds Sharon that she must provide them the number of people to hire (also called a headcount) in each part- time category (e.g., how many .20, .40, .60 FTEs should be hired in each category). 9. When Sharon calculated the number of FTEs budgeted currently in this unit and compared it to the number of actual FTEs being paid for, she found she was under budget by three FTEs. Explain how that could have happened and how this information affects her FTE budget request for the next year. 10. For the unit with the increased patient volume finance ask you to provide a new personnel budget. Sharon knows the following information. 3.
