The last time I worked in an acute setting was over a year ago but at that

time we expected 22-24 units/day.

I have only heard from 2 people and would really appreciate more responses

from people who work in Acute Care Facilities.

If you can tell me how many units (15 minutes = 1 unit) you expect an

Inpatient Acute Care PT to produce per 8 hour day shift.

I thank you in advance your assistance.

Have a nice weekend.

Ann,

I usually look at 24 units per 8 hours. That equals 75%.

We have an expectation of 24 billable units per day. Because we cover

several different units on 3 different floors and often get tied up in

nonbillable activities, such as physician and nuring communication, the

acute therapists realisticly acheive 20-22 billable units per 8-hour day.

Our target is 19.5. 65% productivity for 7.5 hours (8 hours - 2 15

minute breaks = 7.5). My therapists do not have trouble hitting this,

my assistants do.

I would love some ideas on how facilities are meeting a goal of 24 BUOS a day

and also have to:

have 2-3 people to get the patient out of bed, AFTER you have checked for the

3rd time to see if he is ready (labs, xrays, dr. with, ...)

attend a Rehab care conference or family/ d/c planing conference that lasts 1/2

hr minimum,

document notes on 6 patients twice a day in Rehab

Confer with the family, physician, orthotist, and the guy who is building the

ramp so the patient can go home in a timely manner, etc., etc.

And Rehab is more productive than acute care.

I really would appreciate new ideas that have made a difference without

negatively impacting quality of patient care.

We sure can't. Our goal is 70% productivity of 7.5 hours of an 8 hour

day or 21 units which is a stretch most days with the unproductive

nature of Inpatient PT (talk w/family, nurse, doctor, hunt for chart,

patient not ready etc.)
