| Guide for use: | Whole numbers of hours staffed (no decimals or fractions). Valid numbers are 1 to 24. The hours staffed provides a measure of service intensity for the reporting and analysis of staff, financial and activity data. For residential mental health services, this refers to the number of hours per day during which appropriately trained staff (either with formal qualifications and/or on the job training) are employed on site, as their normal place of employment, within the service unit. It excludes periods where the service unit is only staffed by a resident sleepover staff member or any period where staff are present but not employed on site at the service unit. Excludes ambulatory and admitted patient services. Round to nearest whole hour. Where the number of hours staffed varies by day, average the number of hours staffed over a week, including the weekend. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
