Monthly Department Scorecard Department Specific Budget Metric
Productivity: Productivity is measured by cases per perfusionist. Annual case load target per perfusionist 137 CPB cases per year based on the 2005 Perfusion Salary and Benefits Survey. Variable. Extra duty cases enter metric as 0.5 of a CPB case. Extra duty includes open-room standby, pump standby for lead extractions or other, troubleshooting autotransfusion in non-cardiac case, platelet gel preparation, cardiac surgery patient return to operating room for re-exploration. Variable. On-call enters metric as 7 on-call days = 1 case. Constant. Inventory management enters metric as one month of management = 2 cases. One case = six (6) hours labor. Constant. Example: September 2006 department metric. Based on national average of cases per perfusionist, 23 per month would be our expected for a two person department. Actual productivity for September: 12 cases + 0 (extra duty variable) + 4 (on-call metric) + 2 (management metric) = 18. Our metric = -5 for September. Metric goal is greater than 0. Third quarter 2006 using metric formula: July = +2.5 August = +12 September = -5 Our metric for 3rd quarter 2006 = +9.5
