Assignment Timer Metrics Report Description

Permission Required

The Run Any Reports, Including Those that Reveal Patient Information permission is required to generate this report.

Purpose

This report provides an overview of how much time elapses between the bed requested time and the time that a bed is assigned to a patient. The Assignment Timer Metrics report displays counts, averages, and duration by either:

User who assigned the bed, or
Origin unit or assigned unit

Duration is the difference between the bed requested time and the bed assignment time (Requested Time to Assigned Time).

A detailed report or a summary report may be generated.

The detailed report displays specifics about completed placements per target or origin unit or per assigning user, such as the occupied bed, the requested time, the time that the assigned unit was selected or changed and saved, and the time that the bed was assigned.

For every day of the date range selected, the summary report lists counts per unit or user of:

Completed placements
Compliant completed placements (those that have positive assignment timer durations, meaning that the bed requested time was earlier than the bed assignment time)
Non-compliant completed placements (those that have negative assignment timer durations, meaning that the bed assignment time was earlier than the bed requested time)
Duration between requested time and bed assignment time.
Average duration between requested time and bed assignment time.
Standard deviation, if selected, displays the average distance from the average time for compliant placements. For a compliant placement, the duration between the bed requested time and bed assignment time is a positive number.

Report Parameters

Criteria selected when the report was being generated appear under Report Parameters. An example is the name of the campus selected when the report was generated.

About the Report Data

Only completed placements associated with the campus that was selected when the report was generated appear.
The report displays only occupying locations or requesting units that are within the membership of the user who generated the report.
The user who generates the report selects a date range and a shift. Only placements with requested dates within the selected date range and the selected shift appear on the report. However, if a shift starts on the end date of the report date range and ends on the next day, data from the entire shift will be included on the report. For example, if the end date of the report is September 2, 2012 and a shift started at 11:00 PM on September 2 and ended at 7:00 AM on September 3, then data from the entire shift, including the part on September 3, will be on the report.
The user who generates the report can choose a summary report or a detailed report.
The user who generates the report can select to display standard deviation (average distance from the average assignment time for compliant placements).
Data appears by user who assigned the bed, by assigned unit, or by origin unit, depending on criteria selected by the user who generated the report.
