Objectives
Describes elements that affect health care staffing at Patton-Fuller, such as raises in wages and changes in the nurse-to-patient ratio.
Overview
Patton Fuller community hospital has been providing medical care to its community since 1975. It is a cardiac specialty facility that provides top quality care to its patients. With increasing growth in business, the hospital now provides 600 beds with full service to its patents. At present only 60% of the hospital beds are occupied. Due to seasonal fluctuation, occupancy of the hospital is affected. This has caused strain on the finance of the hospital.
Comparative analysis
staff wages, management can compare previous wages internally or of other Health care organizations and compare industry average to determine if a wage increase is appropriate. The nurse-to-patient ratio is determined by patient census. The ratio is found by calculating the number of nurses and number of hours those nurses worked then dividing that by the patient census. This will give the health care organization an idea if they have the right number of nurses working.
