Hours per patient day (HPPD) is a metric that is easy to use in determining budgeted FTE and in comparing staffing across organizations. There are many considerations in determining the appropriate HPPD. The combination of automated patient acuity, staffing, and human resource systems provide a wealth of information for determining the budgeted HPPD and in making defensible requests for adjustments in HPPD. No matter how much data we have about staffing levels, nurse education and skill levels, the environment of care, or patient acuity, the real key is determining the outcomes we need to compare staffing against. We must quantify the savings associated with positive outcomes and get this information in the hands of the public so they can make informed decisions.
每位患者每天所需时长（HPPD）是一种便于用于确定预算全时当量（FTE）以及比较不同机构人员配置的指标。在确定合适的 HPPD 时需要考虑诸多因素。自动患者病情严重程度评估、人员配置和人力资源系统相结合，可为确定预算 HPPD 以及合理请求调整 HPPD 提供丰富信息。无论我们拥有多少关于人员配置水平、护士教育和技能水平、护理环境或患者病情严重程度的数据，真正的关键在于确定我们用以比较人员配置的结果。我们必须量化与积极结果相关的节省情况，并将这些信息提供给公众，以便他们能够做出明智的决策。
