RE: Acute Care Staffing Levels

[Guest guest]

Kate,

PT FTE staffing levels would be based on volumes not really beds. We

are a 300 bed acute care hospital and have 6 FT PT's plus 3 techs

because our volume is heavy ortho-neuro and physically demanding.

Subject: Acute Care Staffing Levels

Hi all,

Would anyone be willing to share their PT acute care staffing levels-

number of PT FTE and number of hospital beds. A brief description of

type

of hospital setting would be really helpful. Do you know of other

resources that have benchmarking around staffing levels? I wasn't able

to

find anything on the APTA website. Thanks.
