  2. KEY PROBLEMS • Lack of information around nursing hours and bed day • Lack of understanding of the quality of information and issues eg skill mix, work shifts, clinical non clinical hours • Financial information in regard to nursing hours and the impact

  3. HOW WE DID IT • Project Started: July 04 • Staffing: no extra • Funding: nil • Duration: on going

  4. INNOVATIONS IMPLEMENTED • Each unit involved in completing the model estimating workload, total nursing hours required to cover workload in order to set a budget or benchmark. • Regular monitoring and reporting against target NHPPD including, occupancy, hours worked, specials, watches.

  5. Acute Inpatient Unit – 2005

  6. Forensic Inpatient Unit – 2005

  7. LESSONS LEARNT • Mental Health inpatient units have specific issues to address such as legal requirements, need to flex staff up but no ability to flex under unit requirements, small units create inaccuracies with data. • Difficulty in finding other MH Services that collect NHPPD data to compare nationally and internationally
