Annual Staffing Plan Review

• Q1.

  • Goal of this data point: to have an eye on the HR challenges in the sector. 2 pieces:

    • RN coverage 24/7 shift-level

    • global info

  • could we only record this at the job code level? NHA and VIHA.

  • FT/PT/casual numbers of RNs. Shouldn’t be against shift times, just for the number of people (headcount).

    • no FTEs for casuals.

  • IHA agrees with the snapshot headcount - make this more clear in the table.

  • no subtotal by position, it’s currently by category. Instructions: we are just asking for the total of headcount at the job code level.

• NHA has different staffing levels (scheduled hours) - may have to add a column for stat.

• The intent of this annual staffing plan is just for

• Goal for column P to S is wanting to know whether the staff’s wages close to the HEABC rate? wages can pre pre-filled as Y.

DCH Review

• Added 3 columns that would be auto-calculated.

• Performance Measures

• How do we get the value for C98? This may be difficult to pull this info (we don’t know right now). HAs will take this away and figure - it is information that is important. FHA has started this process and the data … using payroll data + agency data. Haven’t figured out how to do this sustainably.

• NHA has a hard time pulling the agency vs. the regular contracted services. Coding it to the same response centre - let’s merge these together.

  • as long as the form has a note for this section - NHA could include that there.

• include column that would total Q86 and X86 so the providers can view this right away. “Total direct care , another cell below that calculates the total benefit rate”.

operating revenue

• VIHA doesn’t think there is a process form for this. It’s hard to tell what is included in each year. In order for HAs to defer, approval is required from HAs. Is it helpful to have this or not?

Next week’s agenda

Parked Items

• bonnie will follow-up with Kerri. Column U, V, W. VIHA thinks we’re getting too granular.

• Ana - STAT whether a STAT column is used

• Goal for column P to S is wanting to know whether the staff’s wages close to the HEABC rate? wages can pre pre-filled as Y. But not wages?

• If there are additional performance measures HAs would like included, then email Bonnie. Nothing for now.

• takeaway: minimum 20% professional (just for nursing) . Need to these in the quarterly reports as well. No % required for allied professional. The provincial staffing model states that 20% of all nurses hours should be produced by professional staff (LPNs, RNs).

  • VIHA suggested that a spreadsheet

  • add instructions to include being clear on specifically identified as LPNs and RNs

• Operating Revenue

NEXT WEEK

• go through the revenue and expenditures section
