Data Collection for the 36th Edition PSS™ Annual Survey of Hours Report© is NOW OPEN.
Why You Should Participate?
The PSS™ Annual Survey of Hours Report© is an independent, voluntary national survey designed to provide an accurate, early view of changes in hours of care and workforce management. Unlike third-party productivity products, this survey is not constrained by predefined limits, ensuring the data reflects real-world operations.
We have aligned data definitions, formulas, and reporting standards with our published glossary of terms to ensure consistency and reliability. LMI’s findings serve as one of the earliest indicators of change in the hours of care and workforce management data that leaders have to make informed decisions.
By participating, you gain meaningful unit specific insights such as:
- Unit specific Hours Per Unit of Service (HPPD, Hrs./Delivery, etc.) comparisons by hospital type (teaching, community, rural)
- Unit specific caregiver to patient ratio comparisons by hospital type
- Actionable benchmark comparisons to support building your business case and help you clearly tell your story to leadership
We invite your organization to contribute to a trusted national benchmark for hospital budgeting, staffing, and scheduling decisions. LMI is committed to providing relevant, current, and practical data that leaders rely on to support resource planning and workforce management.
We collect unit specific data for Nursing and Non-Nursing; NO unit is left out.
How is data collected?
Each participating organization receives an Excel/CSV data collection template to complete prior to the submission date. Once data entry is finished, the completed file is returned to LMI for direct import into our system.
Using this Excel/CSV process allows LMI to import your data efficiently, helping to minimize the time and effort required for data collection and submission while ensuring accuracy and consistency.
If you prefer to enter your data manually, simply let us know and we will provide secure login credentials for direct data entry.
