Terri,
Can you describe what educational preparation coordinators have, and list some of the things they do?

We have 15,000 employees and over 6,000 contractors students etc..
I have 1 nurse manager, I FTE RN, 4 MA's, and 4 coordinators
I have a PA that does injury care
It is hard to compare because we aren't apples to apples... I have a lot of technical capability.
I get a lot of things done with coordinators.

I am familiar with the recommendation of 1 FTE RN in Employee Health for every 750 persons assigned though we are basically staffed at 1 FTE RN for every 1,000 persons assigned and are all very busy trying to keep up with everything.
We are a 6 hospital system with ~ 6,500 employees in addition to the physicians, allied health, contract staff, volunteers and students that we provide services for.

Good Morning,
I am making an inquiry about EH Staffing and hope to learn what others are doing. I have a sense we are understaffed and have been asked to find out if there is a standard or guideline. Please share with me your staffing pattern and whether or not there is any staffing guidance.

Hello Lisa
I just had the conversation about this with my boss 5 minutes ago.
When I researched this last year, I could find nothing.
Our facility participates in Truven reporting.
2015 data report from Truven identified the following:
? Sample size of 31 -37 facilities reporting
? Of those reporting, the data noted:
o Average 9,588 visits to EHS
o Average EHS FTE is 2.42
o Average paid employees 1,745 covered by EHS
Now a simple breakdown and analysis demonstrates to anyone with some data savvy that this information cannot possibly be accurate-much less for determining staffing levels per patient visit.
Moreover, the determinants for reporting the data and 'case' definition for what constitutes a 'visit' were not provided for those of us doing the reporting.
So I think the data is VERY sketchy but our finance department is focusing on the fact that we have 3.12 FTEs and only have ? the number of visits of the 'average' facility in the Truven report.
To try to increase ONE FTE I have produced significant justification over the last year:
? productivity data by visit type,
? time studies by type of visit,
? data on # of phone calls and
? total minutes of phone work per month (we have a computerized phone system that produces that data for us in one 5 minute request)
? record keeping and required reporting time data
? administrative time including
o meetings
o policy revision
o staff ed and orientation
o personnel task by administrator
o finance processes
? Documentation of potential for patient care, financial and documentation errors AND increased risk to organization and employees r/t poor staffing level
? Staff burnout concerns
? etc etc etc
All to no avail.
I look forward to others thoughts.
