Question:
Consider all important items when deciding what needs to be in a salary and expense budget. Calculate the FTEs you will need and support your answers and decisions
Develop a salary expense breakdown for a new unit that is opening. It is anticipated that the unit will have an average daily census of 20 patients. It is a medical-surgical unit with an HPPD of 7.3. Your benefit expense is 21.5% for each employee. This new unit will share a manager with another similar type of unit. For a similar medical-surgical unit, the average cost per hour is $23.40. Provide and consider your decisions regarding:
• Skill mix
• Nurse/patient ratio
• Management/staff ratio
• Non-licensed personnel/patient ratio
Use the FTE calculation tool to calculate the # of FTEs you will need once you make the skill mix and ratio decisions above.
