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.
