Calculating Nursing Staff in a Hospital

🔑 The calculation of nursing personnel is an important administrative task.

💡 The calculation is based on factors such as the capacity of the services, the complexity of medical treatments, and the area of care.

📊 Indicators are established to guide the calculation of nursing personnel.

📋 The video discusses the key indicators for calculating the number of nursing personnel in different hospital services, such as surgery, internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, intensive care, and emergencies.

⏰ One important indicator is the number of hours of nursing care required for each service, which ranges from 4 hours for surgery to 10 hours for intensive care.

🔄 Another indicator is the calculation of nursing personnel based on shift rotations (morning, afternoon, and night), using percentages to estimate the necessary staffing.

📊 There are different indicators to determine the percentage of professional and non-professional nursing staff required for different services.

💡 The proportion of specialized nursing staff varies depending on the complexity of the service, with surgery, internal medicine, gynecology, and obstetrics requiring 60% professional and 40% non-professional staff.

🏥 The specific requirements for different services, such as pediatrics, prematurity, intensive care, emergencies, and surgical units, need to be analyzed and studied separately.

📋 The calculation of nursing staff is determined by two formulas.

⏰ Formula 1 involves multiplying hours required with the number of beds in the area to determine the number of nurses needed.

👩‍⚕️ Formula 2 calculates the necessary nursing staff based on hours required and the work shift.

👩‍⚕️ The necessary nursing hours depend on the number of beds and the specific service.

⏰ For a pediatric service with 20 beds, 100 nursing hours are required.

👩‍⚕️‍ The number of nurses required depends on the specific service and the number of beds.

💡 The video discusses the calculation of nursing staff required for a pediatric service in a hospital with 20 beds.

💡 The formula used to determine the number of nurses needed is dividing the total hours of service by the known hours of the workday.

💡 The distribution of nurses in different shifts is suggested to be 40-30-30 for the morning, afternoon, and night shifts respectively.

📚 Calculating nursing staff based on percentages.

🕒 40% of 13 would correspond to 5 nurses for the morning shift, while 30% would be allocated to the afternoon and night shifts.
