Productivity requirements

[mikaylamom]

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can locate some productivity requirement scales...The agency where I work has just come up w/ a points system but it doesn't account for travel time, IV's, Lab draws, extensive/complex wound care/wound vac, or training of new field staff!!

I am so frustrated, that I am considering going back to hospital employment.

An admit or post-hosp.=2pts, a d/c or recert=1.5 and re-evals & sup. visits w/

skill=1....I suppose routine visits count as 1 as well, but they don't assign those to RN's. We have a 50 mile radius, and often except people w/in 60!

I work 30 hrs/week, and extra on weekends. I have been told I should be doing 23 points per week...I have been doing 10 admits=20pts, and some office wk(I was actually hired to be the nurse educator/ new staff trainer. I have been training the new RN's on the computer system,and in the field while doing my 20 pts....I already take computer/paper work home, and almost never leave wk on time! I can't believe they expect more!!! Sorry for being a cry baby... Please send any productivity scales, any advice, ANYTHING!!!!!

The more I read here the more I realize that I work for a very good agency. The fact that our productivity requirements have changed in response to RN/LPN input and that our agency does see pt who have no payor source, and I have a supervisor that LISTENS and tries to resolve situations in a win-win way. Makes me very grateful I work where I do and with the people I do. Our agency also makes a profit. Not a huge one, but we are in the black. No lay offs or cut backs, no decreases in salaries or benefits. I am so very grateful. Shows it can be done.
