Week 4:Staffing Budgets/FTEs/ Variance Analysis

Assignment Guidelines with Scoring Rubric

PURPOSE

This assignment provideslearners with the opportunity to apply budgeting knowledge and skills by

calculating full-time equivalents for a nursing unit, projecting FTE needs related to census changes,

and analyzing a variance scenario.

DUE DATE: Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 4

TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE: 150

REQUIREMENTS

Description of the Assignment

This assignment is in two scenario-based sections each related to staffing budgets. In the first, the

student will perform multistep calculations of FTEs and projection of future FTE needs for a

selected nursing unit. The second section involves calculation of budget variance and its analysis.

Each section requires supported written interpretation of findings.

Criteria for Content


Answer the questions and complete the calculations required for the two sections of the assignment.

1. When performing calculations, standard rounding rules apply. If the number to the

right of the decimal is less than 5, round down to the nearest whole number, e.g.,

33.4

= 33 If the number to the right of the decimal is 5 or greater, round up to the nearest

whole number, e.g. 33.5 =34.


2. Read the question carefully. Pay close attention to the units be asked and keep

them consistent. For example, hours vs FTEs; days vs months vs years.


3. Provide ALL formulas with references. Designate which formula associates

with which source. It is not sufficient to simply list the source at the beginning of

the section. Write out the formula used BEFORE filling in the numbers.


Example: Efficiency Variance + Volume Variance + Cost Variance = Total Variance

PREPARING THE ASSIGNMENT

Section One—Staffing Budget and FTEs


Personnel Budget Case Study


Sandra Chambers has recently accepted the position of assistant administrator for the department of

nursing at Potter Regional Medical Center where she will oversee the operations of five medical

units. As she evaluates the budgets for the different cost centers, she finds that all are being used at

near or full capacity. The activity in four of the five has remained steady over the past 2 years. A

fifth unit has realized a steady increase in patient volume during that time and is currently at 88%

capacity. It has been projected that within the next 12 months the volume of patients moving through

that unit will increase by 20%. Sandra needs to determine if the current FTEs for the unit will be

sufficient to ensure quality and safe care continues to be provided, and if not, what is the number of

FTEs that will be needed to cover a 20% increase in volume.


1. Suggest all the information Sandra needs to collect in order to project the FTEs needed

for the next fiscal year accounting for the projected increased capacity. Remember, she is

new to her position so be sure to include background data on the unit itself as it relates to

previous budgets, nursing staff, and the organization. In other words, summarize your

approach to this Case Study.

For Sandra to accurate forecast the next financial year’s budget, the information that are

supposed to be gathered are the average length that patients stay, care hours offered per the total

days of the patient, average of the total number of the days a patient stays in the hospital, and
