About the Perspectives in Staffing &Scheduling (PSS™) Annual Survey of Hours National Benchmark©:
The Labor Management Institute has designed and executed research studies in a variety of areas related to scheduling, staffing and labor management. Annually, we conduct the Perspectives in Staffing &Scheduling (PSS™) Annual Survey of Hours National Benchmark© which focuses on The Direct HPPD, Indirect HPPD and Total Worked HPPD. We examine additional elements pertinent to schedule preparation and degree of automation, overtime, deficit demands and response. We include RN specific questions such as age, education and ratios. We include detailed ratios for RN's, LPN/LVN's, NA's, and CNS's by unit type. We report on non-unit-based educators in addition to questions on nurse manager span of control and other elements reflective of the 2004 Institute of Medicine’s "Keeping Patients Safe" report recommendations.
