Lack of standardization in formulas for calculating absenteeism impeded comparison among institutions and comparison to rates reported for the health care industry. Even though illness related benefits, replacement costs for absent employees and attendance incentives absorbed scarce financial resources, more than 40% of hospitals had no standard for excessive absence. Directors of nursing were concerned about staffing and the possibility that employees were tiring to the point of becoming ill. Among directors, concern about absenteeism was greatest in urban hospitals of 100-200 beds.
旷工计算公式缺乏标准化，阻碍了各机构之间的比较以及与医疗行业报告的比率进行比较。尽管与疾病相关的福利、缺勤员工的替代成本和出勤激励措施消耗了稀缺的财政资源，但超过40%的医院没有针对过度缺勤的标准。护理主任担心人员配备以及员工可能因疲惫而生病的情况。在主任中，对旷工问题的担忧在拥有100至200张床位的城市医院中最为严重。
