Congratulations - as the new clinical nutrition manager, you have been asked to recommend the best staffing pattern for a new combined outpatient nutrition clinic and fitness/health club for a large medical center. The facility will be open 24 hours a day. Your plan includes:
1. one receptionist on duty twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week
2. one housekeeper on duty from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, Monday through Friday
3. two housekeepers on duty from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday
4. one RDN on duty from 6:00 am to 10:00 am and from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm Monday through Friday
5. two personal fitness instructors on duty from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, Monday through Friday
6. three personal fitness instructors on duty from 6:00 am to midnight, Saturday and Sunday 7 one full-time salaried business manager
Calculate the FTEs needed for each role (receptionist, housekeeper, RDN, personal fitness instructor, and business manager)
What are the total FTEs needed to staff the facility?
How many people would the total FTEs represent? (pause for a moment and think about that one)
