Enter the number of patients seen and the hours worked into the calculator to determine the productivity of a physical therapist in terms of patients seen per hour.
Pt Productivity Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the productivity of a physical therapist.
P = {N}/{H}Variables:
- P is the productivity (patients per hour)
- N is the number of patients seen
- H is the hours worked
To calculate the productivity, divide the number of patients seen by the hours worked.
What is Pt Productivity?
Physical therapist (Pt) productivity is a measure of the number of patients a therapist can see within a given time frame, typically measured in patients per hour. This metric helps clinics and healthcare facilities to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of their physical therapy staff, allowing for better scheduling and resource allocation.
How to Calculate Pt Productivity?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Pt Productivity.
- First, determine the number of patients seen (N).
- Next, determine the hours worked (H).
- Use the formula from above = P = N / H.
- Finally, calculate the Pt Productivity (P) in patients per hour.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
number of patients seen (N) = 22
hours worked (H) = 8
