The purposes of this retrospective study were to document productivity-relevant measurements, describe the relationships between these measurements, and discuss the implications of the relationships in one physical therapy department. The department's inputs (clinician and staff hours worked), outputs (patient visits, patient procedures, hours charged, and dollars charged), and productivity (staff utilization, financially productive time, and dollars charged per staff hours worked) were monitored. Pearson product-moment correlations, partial correlations, and linear regression statistics were calculated to determine the relationships between the variables measured. During the 30-month period studied, average daily census of the institution decreased, clinician hours worked decreased, patient procedures and dollars charged increased, and the three productivity measures increased. The relationship between output measures and clinician hours worked was apparent only after the effects of increased productivity were controlled. Departmental outputs and productivity were independent of the institution's census. The findings provided no evidence that decisions regarding staffing should be based on institutional census.
这项回顾性研究的目的是记录与生产力相关的指标，描述这些指标之间的关系，并探讨这些关系在一个物理治疗部门中的意义。监测了该部门的投入（临床医生和工作人员的工作时长）、产出（患者就诊次数、患者治疗程序、收费时长和收费金额）以及生产力（员工利用率、财务生产时间和每工作小时的收费金额）。计算了皮尔逊积矩相关性、偏相关性和线性回归统计量，以确定所测量变量之间的关系。在研究的30个月期间，该机构的日均普查人数减少，临床医生工作时长减少，患者治疗程序和收费金额增加，三项生产力指标增加。仅在控制了生产力提高的影响后，产出指标与临床医生工作时长之间的关系才明显。部门产出和生产力与机构的普查无关。研究结果没有提供证据表明人员配置决策应基于机构普查。
