80 Bed Capacity
Classification: Secondary
Ratio: 55:45

1. Categorize the patients according to the level of care needed.

• 80 Patients x .65 = 52 patients needing minimal care


• 80 Patients x .30 = 24 patients needing moderate care
• 80 Patients x .05 = 4 patients needing intensive care

TOTAL: 80

2. Find the number of nursing care hours (NCH) needed by patients at each level of care
per day.

• 52 patients x 1.5 (NCH needed at level 1) = 78 NCH/day


• 24 patients x 3 (NCH needed at level II) = 72 NCH/day
• 4 patients x 4.5 (NCH needed at level III) = 18 NCH/day

TOTAL: 168 NCH/DAY

3. Find the total NCH needed by 350 patients per year.

• 168 NCH/day × 365 (days/year) = 61,320 NCH/day

4. Find the actual working hours rendered by each nursing personnel per year

• 8 (hrs/day) × 265 (working days/year) = 2,120 (working hours/year)

5. Find the total number of nursing personnel needed.

• Total NCH/year = 61,320 NCH/day = 29 nursing personnel needed


• Working hrs/year = 2,120
• Relief × Total Nsg Personnel = 29 × 0.12 = 3
• Total Nursing Personnel needed 29 + 3 = 32

6. Categorize to professionals and non-professional personnel Ratio of professionals to


non-professionals in a tertiary hospital is 65:35
• 32 x .55 = 18 professional nurses
• 32 x .45 = 14 nursing attendants

7. Distributed by shifts.

• 18 nurses x .45 = 8 nurses on AM shift


• 18 nurses x .37 = 7 nurses on PM shift
• 18 nurses x. 18 = 3 nurses on night shift

TOTAL: 18 NURSES

• 14 Nsg attendants x .45 = 6 Nursing attendants on AM Shift


• 14 Nsg attendants x .37= 5 Nursing attendants on AM Shift
• 14 Nsg attendants x .18 = 3 Nursing attendants on night shift

TOTAL: 14 NURSING ATTENDANTS

• 52.5 patients x 4.5 (NCH needed at level III) = 236.25 NCH/day
• 35 patients × 6 (NCH needed at level IV) = 210 NCH/day

TOTAL: 1,076.25 NCH/DAY

• 35 patients × 6 (NCH needed at level IV) = 210 NCH/day

3. Find the total NCH needed by 350 patients per year.

• 1,076.25 NCH/day × 365 (days/year) = 392,831.25 NCH/day

4. Find the actual working hours rendered by each nursing personnel per year

• 8 (hrs/day) × 213 (working days/year) = 1,704 (working hours/year)

5. Find the total number of nursing personnel needed.

• Total NCH/year= 392,831.25 NCH/day = 231 nursing personnel needed
