	Practice Analysis Report
To foster Evidence-Based Management, ProAct makes it easy to analyse any practice. The flexible Practice Analysis Report Writer provides over 800 different configurations of data. Users can pick any time period and can report in a variety of ways, such as: The number of occurrences (e.g. how many times on-call staff were called into work). The number of hours (e.g. the hours of inservice education provided). The number of FTEs (e.g. the FTEs of agency staff used). The headcount (e.g. the number of staff who will be on duty for the hospital picnic or sausage sizzle in order to determine the amount of food to buy). Dollars (e.g. the cost of overtime). Leave types (e.g. amount of sick leave). To further finetune the analysis, ProAct provides the ability to filter the data to look at certain: Positions (e.g. the overtime of medical staff interns versus residents, sick leave of Food Service staff versus Dieticians). Groups (e.g. the hours from preferred/less costly agencies compared with the non-preferred/more costly agencies, sick leave for part-time versus full-time staff). By shift (e.g. the availability of casual relief pool staff by shift, total 1:1 patient care by shift). Reasons for staffing decisions (e.g. the reason that agency staff was used, who OK’d the overtime, whether a sick call was replaced or not). Day of Week (e.g. whether overtime due to missed meal breaks occurs more frequently on weekdays or weekends, which days have more relief staff available and for what shifts). For further details consult the on-line Help, the user manual or call the PolyOptimum Help Desk. Back to Poly Pointers
