How do you figure daily per patient day hours in skilled nursing facilities?

Daily per patient day hours in skilled nursing facilities can be calculated using the following steps:

1. Determine the total number of patient days for the skilled nursing facility. This is calculated by multiplying the number of patients by the number of days in the month.

2. Determine the total number of hours of care provided by the skilled nursing facility. This includes all hours of care provided by nurses, aides, therapists, and other staff.

3. Divide the total number of hours of care provided by the total number of patient days to calculate the daily per patient day hours.

For example, if a skilled nursing facility has 100 patients and each patient stays for an average of 20 days, the total number of patient days would be 2000 (100 * 20). If the skilled nursing facility provides a total of 5000 hours of care, the daily per patient day hours would be 2.5 hours (5000 / 2000).
