The formula to calculate healthcare productivity is:
\[ P = \frac{PS}{HW} \]
Where:
Healthcare productivity measures the efficiency of healthcare providers by calculating the number of patients seen per hour. This metric is crucial for understanding the workload and effectiveness of healthcare staff. It can be used to optimize scheduling, staffing, and resource allocation to improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula:
\[ P = \frac{40}{8} = 5 \text{ patients per hour} \]
This means the productivity is 5 patients per hour.
