Estimate daily vaccine clinic staffing from patient workload, combined labor minutes, productive shift time, and fixed support positions. The output separates workload-driven staffing from roles needed regardless of volume.
The rounded result is the number of scheduled people for the modeled day. It does not assign credentials or roles automatically.
Split the calculation by role when vaccinators, registration staff, pharmacists, and observers have different workloads or licensing requirements.
For 320 patients at 18 combined labor minutes each, direct work totals 96 hours. An eight-hour shift at 80% productivity supplies 6.4 direct hours per person, requiring 15 direct staff; two fixed roles bring the total to 17.
They are the combined hands-on minutes contributed by all workload-driven roles for one completed patient.
Usually no. Reflect breaks and routine nonproductive time in the productive-share input.
Include roles needed regardless of volume, such as a site lead or logistics coordinator, when they are not already in per-patient labor.
A partial person cannot cover a full scheduled position, so daily planning uses the next whole person.
No. Model each licensed role separately or apply local scope-of-practice and supervision rules after calculating total workload.
| Component | Use |
|---|---|
| Direct labor | Scales with patients |
| Productive shift time | Paid time available for direct work |
| Fixed positions | Roles that do not scale with volume |
