Benchmarking of Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy Staff Allocation in Australian Tertiary Hospitals
Abstract
This benchmarking study examined current physiotherapy staff allocation in designated cardiorespiratory areas of Australian public tertiary hospitals and compared it with staff level desired by senior physiotherapy leaders. A questionnaire was developed to collect data from the physiotherapy clinical leaders on hospital bed numbers, physiotherapy staffing [Fulltime Equivalent (FTE)] and levels and average daily occasions of service within the cardiorespiratory areas.
