OUR AGENDA I. Why Do We Care? II. A Few Basics III. Developing a Productivity System IV. Monitoring and Controlling V. Common Problems © HTS 3 2018 7

I. WHY WE CARE 8 • Labor cost is the single largest expense item in every hospital and in almost every hospital department • Left unmonitored FTE’s have a tendency to increase – beware the creep……. © HTS 3 2018 | Pag e 8

VALUE OF A PRODUCTIVITY SYSTEM • Sets aggressive but attainable targets • Ties productivity targets to daily operational staffing tools • Links productivity targets to departmental budgets • Provides managers with staffing guidelines based on targets that are specific and appropriate for their individual department • Fosters accountability © HTS 3 2018 9 | Pag e 9

II. A FEW BASICS © HTS 3 2018

DEFINITIONS 11 Worked Hours: Worked hours are direct care hours plus management hours and any other support staff assigned to the unit. Include hours of all staff that work in a department including the unit secretary, staff “floated” from other departments, agency/contract staff and management hours. Do not include hours on-call. Direct Care Hours: Hours spent actually providing care, treatment, tests, etc. Does not include management or support staff such as unit secretaries. Accurate Allocation: Accurate allocation of worked hours to the appropriate cost center is critical for creating accurate productivity data as well as for creating accurate reporting of costs. In smaller facilities where staff may be responsible for covering multiple areas and it is not practical to allocate actual hours, it may be necessary to allocate based on a pre-determined formula agreed to with finance. A roll-up can also be used for departments such as medical imaging that has multiple modalities, or when one group of staff cover multiple departments Hours per Workload Unit: The number of hours in a given time period divided by the workload unit or unit of service for that same time period. Education and Orientation Hours: Hours staff spend in education or orientation. Include as part of worked (productive) hours. Modality: 15 -minute billed increments. Non-Productive Hours: Paid time off such as vacation, sick time, family leave. Paid Hours: Total of all productive (worked) and non-productive hours. Productive Hours or Worked Hours: Includes direct care hours, support staff, Capture of Workload: Capture of all workload is critical for having accurate productivity data and staff buy-in. This is especially important for workload that management hours, education and orientation. may not be consistently captured such as observation or outpatient procedures. Target: Amount of hours to produce a given volume of work. May be stated as a FTE or as worked hours per workload unit or unit of service. Minimum Staffing: Some facilities may experience periods of “minimum staffing. ” Minimum staffing levels will vary between organizations but include at least two licensed nursing staff at all times. Some states, such as California and Unit of Service (UOS) or Workload Unit (WLU): Measure of volume for a specific department. New York, have mandated staffing ratios. Adjusted patient day: Inpatient days multiplied by a factor resulting from dividing total hospital-wide revenue by inpatient hospital-wide revenue. © HTS 3 2018 11

KEY TERMS • • • © HTS 3 2018 12 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Paid Hours Worked Hours (Productive Hours) Unit of Service Worked Hours per Unit of Service | Page

FTE DEFINITION 13 1 FTE (Full Time Equivalent) is based upon 2, 080 hours per year. This is the universal standard for an FTE in healthcare for comparative benchmarking purposes. It doesn’t matter if your hospital’s standard for full time is less than 2, 080 (for example nurses who work 72 hours / pay period are sometimes considered full-time). 2080 hours per year should always be the denominator to determine FTEs. 23, 500 hours = 11. 3 FTEs (23500/2080) © HTS 3 2018 | Page

PAID HOURS 14 Total paid hours include: – – Worked Hours Registry / Contract Labor Call Back Hours Paid Time Off • • • Vacation Sick Leave Holiday Personal Leave Jury Duty Bereavement Leave Paid hours do not include: – On-Call Pay – Shift Differential © HTS 3 2018 | Page

WORKED HOURS 15 • Worked hours are a subset of total hours • Worked hours may be referred to as “productive hours” – Actual worked hours – Registry / contract labor – Hours “called back” to work – Education and orientation – Overtime counts! • Worked hours DO NOT include – Vacation, Sick, Holiday, Jury Duty, On-Call, Shift Differential © HTS 3 2018 | Page

UNIT OF SERVICE - MEASURE OF VOLUME Net Revenue Trips Cases Billable Procedures Patient Days Square Feet Meals © HTS 3 2018 16 16

WORKED HOURS PER UNIT OF SERVICE 17 Worked hours (divided by) volume = worked hours per unit of service 23, 500 hours / 2, 000 patient days = 11. 75 worked hours per patient day 6, 000 hours / 3, 000 procedures = 2. 0 worked hours per procedure © HTS 3 2018 | Page

III. DEVELOPING A FUNCTIONAL & EFFECTIVE PRODUCTIVITY SYSTEM © HTS 3 2018 18 18

ESTABLISH TARGETS 19 Step 1: Identify a unit of service (i. e. patient days, procedures, treatments, etc. ) for each department Step 2: Estimate volume or workload (usually based on budget or historical data) Step 3: Determine what will be included in worked hours Step 4: Calculate worked hours per unit of service and salary (cost) per unit of service © HTS 3 2018 | Pag e 19

AND A DEFINITION FOR EACH 21 ADMITTING AND OUTPATIENT REGISTRATION ____(target) worked hours per total registration Definition: The Admitting and Outpatient Registration Department admits patients for hospital services. This department admits both inpatients and outpatients providing services by: assisting with filling out admission forms, scheduling admission times, accompanying patients to rooms or service areas after admission, arrangement of admission details; verifying insurance and obtaining pre-authorization of services. Standard Unit of Measure: The number of registrations is the unit of measure. Count each registration conducted for outpatient, inpatient, and emergency room. When hospital registration staff conducts the registration function for clinics, count each registration as well. When clinic staff conducts clinic registrations, the count resides in the clinic productivity target. © HTS 3 2018 21

DEFINITION - EXAMPLE 22 PHYSICAL THERAPY ____ (target) worked hours per modality excluding home health ____(target) worked hours per visit home health Definition: The Physical Therapy Department provides therapy for the preservation, enhancement, or restoration of movement and physical function impaired or threatened by disability, injury, or disease that utilizes therapeutic exercise, physical modalities (as massage and electrotherapy), assistive devices, and patient education and training. Standard Unit of Measure: The number of modalities is the unit of measure for inpatients and outpatients excluding home health. Modalities are defined as 15 -minute billed increments. Utilize the home health target of 2. 25 worked hours per visit for home health patients. Transfer hours to the home health cost center. All staff working within the Physical Therapy Department are included within the target (physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, administrative assistants, etc. ). © HTS 3 2018 22

DEFINITION - EXAMPLE 23 Med-Surg Nursing ____(target) worked hours per patient day Definition: Medical/Surgical units provide nursing care to patients whose conditions or disorders are treated medically, pharmacologically, or surgically and are appropriate for inpatient or observation care. Patients requiring intensive care level care not included. In many rural facilities the medical-surgical unit also provides nursing care for pediatric patients and/or outpatients requiring procedures such as blood transfusions or IV infusions. Standard Unit of Measure: The unit of measure is patient days. Include swing bed patients, unless they are cared for in a distinct unit with separate staff. Include observation patients cared for on the Medical /Surgical Unit as equivalent patient days. Considerations relative to the additional services provided by Med-Surg staff: Pediatric integrated within Medical/Surgical: Calculate pediatric patient days at the appropriate target above Swing Bed integrated within Medical/Surgical: Calculate Swing Bed patient days at the same target as Medical / Surgical. Outpatient procedures integrated into Medical/Surgical: When outpatient procedures are conducted by staff on the Medical/Surgical Unit (e. g. , blood transfusions, IV antibiotics, chemotherapy, etc. ) use the outpatient center target of ____ hours per procedure. It is very important to allocate any hours to the Outpatient cost center (and not to Med-Surg) to ensure an accurate reporting of costs. EKGs conducted by Medical/Surgical staff: When Medical/Surgical staff conduct EKGs, transfer the hours to the EKG cost center, to ensure an accurate reporting of costs. Ambulatory Surgery: When patients are admitted to the ambulatory surgery area prior to their procedure or surgery - but secondary recovery and discharge is provided by Medical/Surgical staff - transfer hours to the ambulatory surgery cost center up to a maximum of ____ hours per patient. When patients are admitted to Medical/Surgical prior to surgery and secondary recovery is the responsibility of the Medical/Surgical staff – transfer a maximum of ____ hours to the ambulatory surgery cost center. It is very important to allocate any applicable hours to the Outpatient cost center to ensure an accurate reporting of costs. © HTS 3 2018 23

STEP 2: ESTIMATE VOLUME OR WORKLOAD 1. Historical Volume – Identify seasonal variations – Identify daily / weekly variations – Minimum Staffing 2. Projected Volume – Identify planned changes in service lines (new surgeon / new oncologist / IV infusion / Observation Unit) – Determine if volume changes will impact non-direct care departments (Admitting, Dietary, etc. ) – Minimum Staffing 3. Discuss and gain concurrence from managers (no vacuums) © HTS 3 2018 24 24

A NOTE ABOUT VOLUME AND EFFICIENCY 25 If you have more than one inpatient unit ----- it’s better (more efficient) to have one unit staffed at a defined census level --- than to have 2 or 3 units that are staffed inefficiently due to fluctuations in census. © HTS 3 2018 25

STEP 3: DETERMINE WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN WORKED HOURS Option Exclude Manager, Meetings, Orientation, Education Option Include Manager + Meetings + Orientation + Education © HTS 3 2018 26 26

IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY - ONE CHOCOLATE AT A TIME 41 SPEED IT UP!!! Asking Staff To Do More with the Same Resources and the Same Systems – Seldom Works © HTS 3 2018 | Pag e 41

WASTE • Waste of time • Waste of ideas • Waste of methods / supplies • Waste of machinery / equipment • Waste of manpower • Waste of space © HTS 3 2018 42 “If it doesn’t add value, it’s waste. ” – Henry Ford “Waste is often disguised as useful work. ” – Hiroyuki Hirano “Activity that adds cost but not value. ” – Taiichi Ohno | Pag e 42

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPALS 43 Work redesign and process improvement are not “theoretical” but an essential component of effective staffing management 1. 2. Invest in work redesign 3. Invest in people – Evaluate how work is done – look – Team training at processes – Individual training – Remove rework / redundancy – Reward efforts from the system – Utilize technology 4. Measure Invest in clinical improvement – Utilize measurement – Use clinical protocols methodologies – Focus on prevention of complications – Focus on error prevention and patient safety © HTS 3 2018 | Pag e 43

V. A FEW PROBLEMS - A FEW SOLUTIONS © HTS 3 2018 44 44

PROBLEM: MANAGERS LACK THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE 1. Invest - provide education and support for managers / charge nurses / shift supervisors / non- nursing department supervisors 2. Ensure that managers and supervisors are knowledgeable and understand concepts of effective staffing management 3. Provide regular information and feedback to staff and key stakeholders regarding staffing goals and objectives © HTS 3 2018 45 | Pag e 45

PROBLEM: IT’S NOT MY DEPARTMENT – IT’S NOT MY JOB – IT’S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY 46 1. Facilitate departments working together to achieve organization wide improvements 2. Don’t make changes that improve one department’s productivity but decreases the productivity in another department’s without mutual agreement from all involved © HTS 3 2018 | Pag e 46

PROBLEM: OVERTIME IS EXPENSIVE © HTS 3 2018 47 | Pag e 47

TYPES OF OVERTIME • Planned • Incidental • Emergent Regardless, they are all Expensive! © HTS 3 2018 48 | Pag e 48

OVERTIME REDUCTION 1. Develop staffing rules to ensure there is staff coverage when it is needed – – – 2. Vacation Requested days off Number of staff who can be off at any one time Look at overtime every day, every pay period 3. Look at hours – dollars – percent – They each tell a different story 1. Drill down to understand WHY Your Improvement Strategy must depend on the “reason” for incurring overtime. If not it will likely fail. © HTS 3 2018 49 | Pag e 49

ASK WHY 5 TIMES Incidental Overtime - End of Shift WHY - Joe can’t finish work on time WHY – He’s the Supervisor and also has a full patient load WHY – Not enough staff – lots of vacancies WHY – No applicants WHY – No recruitment plan WHY - Call-Off (sick) replacement WHY – Average of 3 call-offs each week WHY – Not sure but it’s usually 2 specific staff WHY – No systems to counsel WHY - © HTS 3 2018 50 Vacation / Holiday replacement WHY – Staff can take vacation anytime WHY – No facility rules for how many staff can be off at one time WHY – We have never needed it – staff selfscheduled to ensure coverage but not working now WHY – Lots of new / younger staff WHY – 50

PROBLEM: WE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON ORIENTATION AND 51 EDUCATION Initial and Ongoing Education and Training as well as competency is absolutely critical in today’s healthcare environment 1. Separate types of education - to help understand where dollars are being spent and WHY – – – At-hire – Organization orientation Annual Unit / Department Orientation Nurse Residency Cross-Training If you have HIGH turnover you are going to have HIGH education / orientation costs! 2. Develop a plan for the Hospital and every department 3. Review the plan at least annually 4. Incorporate education hours /dollars in the staffing budget 5. Make use of on-line resources ----- but you can’t rely on them exclusively! © HTS 3 2018 51

PROBLEM: TOO MANY STAFF - NOT ENOUGH STAFF – NEVER THE RIGHT NUMBER OF STAFF 53 1. Schedule with an understanding of historical volume for days of the week as well as seasons (Fall / Summer, etc. ) 5. Analyze the hours ancillary departments are open for business 6. Review on-call cost compared to having staff on-site 24/7. Repeat periodically for changes. 7. Flexible labor pool (yes it’s possible) 2. Explore/Develop /Utilize alternative shifts 3.

PROBLEM: WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT STAFF WITH THE RIGHT SKILLS WHEN WE NEED THEM 54 1. Review and adjust delivery model and skill mix to most effectively and efficiently meet the needs of both the patients and the facility for clinical and non-clinical departments 2.
