Budget Labor ADC Config

Overview

In the Budget Labor ADCConfig driver, configure the job classes and staffing ratios for each job class. The staffing ratios are used to build out the nursing grid in the budget plan files. You must also determine if each class is considered:

  • Fixed - Position is fixed but is not replaced for PTO calculation.
  • Fixed With Replacement - Position is fixed but is replaced for PTO calculation.
  • Variable - Position is replaced for PTO calculation and fluctuates with volume changes.

For each defined job class, you must input a staffing ratio to determine the flexing point of each Average Daily Census level.

There are sections to do this globally for all departments, make exceptions by BudgetGroup, or make exceptions by department. For each defined job class, you must input a staffing ratio.

Fields and settings in the ADC Configuration driver include:

  • Global – Used to set a global staff-per-patient ratio for each category.
  • BudgetGroup – Designate exceptions by budget group.
  • Dept – Designate staff per-patient-ratios by department. This is the most commonly used section.

NOTE: To activate the ADC sheet for a department, enter JobcodeADC in LaborType in the DEPT dimension table.

Settings

Open the driver, and then complete the driver settings for Global, BudgetGroup, and Dept, as needed, for each shift.
