Average Response/Turn-Time Report
The Average Response/Turn-Time Report provides an overview of key bed cleaning metrics including average response time, clean time, and turnaround times for individual units or the entire hospital. This report includes data for standard cleans and jobs that had an upgraded priority. For a bed to be included, it must have been requested for cleaning.

Generating The Average Response/Turn-Time Report
Database - Where Your Facility's Data Is Stored
Production - Data that is stored in the production database (this is your current data).
Use when live up-to-the-minute data is needed.
Contains the data from the current time and for the past number of days as defined in Archive Management. This is typically 7 days but may range between 1 and 30 days. If you do not know the number of days, your TeleTracking System Administrator should be able to assist.
Archive - Data that is stored in the archive database (this is your older data).
Does not capture data for the current day.
Users can access reports as far back as the go-live date.
Campus
Campus Drop-Down
Defaults to your campus. The only exception is if you have access to multiple campuses. If you have membership in multiple campuses (for example, ABC Children's Hospital and ABC Women's Hospital), then in the Campus list, select the campus for which you wish to generate a report.
Date & Time
Date Range
Click on the Calendar Icon to select the needed dates.
Shift Time
The system defaults to the entire day however, you may want to isolate specific shifts if you are trying to investigate issues with not meeting metrics.
Detail By Bed
No: Recommended option that provides a one-page summary of the overall totals and averages if you choose Totals in the Group By section below.
Yes: Provides detail for all bed cleans in the selected date and time range. Output is a long multiple-page report. This is an in-depth investigative option to choose.
Search By
Employee

If no units are selected, the report will run for all units by default.
Exclude From Averages
Allows you to choose whether you want to exclude or include adjusted beds.
Unchecked - Recommended option for reporting best practice metrics-includes all data and provides true metrics. However, this will not list adjusted beds.
Checked - Excludes metrics that fall outside of selected parameters. However, this will list the adjusted beds if showing Detail by Bed.
Note: This report should be run using both methods to see the true metrics and adjusted beds.
Based On Original Request
Yes (recommended): metric based on the time of the original bed clean request.
Omit Delay Times?
No (recommended): will incorporate all delays which provide true turn time metrics.
Yes: if times are omitted, true turn time will not be captured, and data can be skewed.
Omit Suspended Times?
No (recommended): will incorporate all suspended cleans.
Yes: if times are omitted, true turn time will not be captured, and data will be skewed.
Group By
Totals (recommended): an option if you choose ‘No’ in Detail by Bed when generating the report.
Unit: sorts the data by individual unit.
Bed Cleaner: sorts the data by individual bed cleaners.
Output
Choose the format of the report data. Options include Adobe and Excel.

Analyzing The Average Response/Turn-Time Report
Above is an example Average Response/Turn-Time Report. We will now break down the information to learn how to read the data. Items with a * denote a best practice metric.
Avg Response* - Time from Cleaning request to In-Progress.
Note: Reportable Best Practice metrics are considered ‘Dirty’.
Avg Clean* - Time from In Progress to Clean.
Avg Turn* - Time from bed cleaning request to Clean.
Adjusted Clean - Jobs that fit one of the following criteria:
Job completed in more than the maximum clean time.
Job completed in less than the minimum clean time.
Job response time is greater than the maximum response time.
Note: Running the report without checking anything in the Exclude from Average section, you will see zero values listed for adjusted cleans.
Compliant Clean - A formal bed cleaning request was submitted within the application.
Found Bed - A bed cleaning job that was completed without a formal cleaning request.
Canceled Cleans - A bed cleaning request was created and for some reason needed to be canceled.
Note: Provide canceled reasons and how many beds were canceled per reason.
