Fill Rate Reports

Fill rate tracking provides real-time visibility into how well an event's staffing needs are being met. It answers the fundamental question: "What percentage of our required positions have been filled?"

🔒Requires permission: Events.FillRate

Fill Rate Formula​

The fill rate is calculated as:

Fill Rate = (Confirmed Caregivers / Required Caregivers) x 100%
TermDefinition
Confirmed CaregiversThe number of caregivers in Confirmed status for a given facility/unit/specialty/shift combination.
Required CaregiversThe number of caregivers needed, as defined in Shift Requirements.

Example Calculation​

FacilityUnitSpecialtyShiftRequiredConfirmedFill Rate
Memorial GeneralICURN - Critical CareDay121083.3%
Memorial GeneralICURN - Critical CareNight88100.0%
Memorial GeneralMed-SurgRN - Med-SurgDay15960.0%

Edge Cases​

ScenarioFill Rate
Required = 0 and Confirmed = 0Displayed as N/A (no requirement has been set).
Required = 0 and Confirmed > 0Displayed as Over (caregivers are confirmed but no requirement exists).
Confirmed > RequiredDisplayed as the calculated percentage (e.g., 120%). Indicates overstaffing.

Color-Coded Thresholds​

Fill rate values are color-coded for quick visual assessment:

ColorFill Rate RangeMeaning
Green90% - 100%On target. Staffing needs are met or nearly met.
Yellow70% - 89%At risk. Additional staffing is needed.
RedBelow 70%Critical. Significant staffing gap exists.

These colors appear throughout the application wherever fill rates are displayed, including:

  • The Requirements / Fill Rate tab on the event detail page.
  • The Event List page (overall event fill rate column).
  • The Public Fill Rate page.
  • Dashboard summary cards.
tip

Focus recruitment and confirmation efforts on Red rows first, then Yellow. Green rows are adequately staffed and typically do not need immediate attention.


Fill Rate Tab​

The fill rate is displayed on the Requirements / Fill Rate tab of the Event Detail Page. This tab combines shift requirements with real-time fill rate calculations.

Layout​

The tab displays a hierarchical grid:

Event Overall: 78% [Yellow]
|
+-- Memorial General Hospital: 81% [Yellow]
| |
| +-- ICU: 90% [Green]
| | |-- RN - Critical Care | Day: 83% [Yellow]
| | |-- RN - Critical Care | Night: 100% [Green]
| | |-- CNA | Day: 87% [Yellow]
| |
| +-- Med-Surg 3rd Floor: 60% [Red]
| |-- RN - Med-Surg | Day: 60% [Red]
| |-- LPN | Night: 55% [Red]
|
+-- St. Joseph Medical Center: 73% [Yellow]
|
+-- Labor & Delivery: 73% [Yellow]
|-- RN - L&D | Day: 80% [Yellow]
|-- RN - L&D | Night: 67% [Red]

Grid Columns​

ColumnDescription
LocationFacility/unit/specialty hierarchy (expandable tree).
ShiftDay, Night, or Evening (shown at the specialty level).
RequiredNumber of caregivers needed.
ConfirmedNumber of caregivers in Confirmed status.
PendingNumber of caregivers in Invited or Pending status (not yet confirmed).
DeclinedNumber of caregivers who declined.
Fill RateCalculated percentage, color-coded.

Aggregated Fill Rates​

Fill rates aggregate upward through the hierarchy:

LevelHow It's Calculated
Specialty + ShiftConfirmed / Required for that specific combination.
UnitSum of all Confirmed across specialties and shifts in the unit, divided by sum of all Required.
FacilitySum of all Confirmed across units, divided by sum of all Required.
EventSum of all Confirmed across all facilities, divided by sum of all Required.
note

Aggregated fill rates are weighted averages, not simple averages of the child rates. A unit with 100 required positions at 50% fill rate has more impact on the event-level fill rate than a unit with 5 required positions at 100%.


Filtering and Sorting​

Filters​

FilterOptions
FacilityShow data for a specific facility only.
Shift TypeShow only Day, Night, or Evening requirements.
Fill Rate StatusShow only Green, Yellow, or Red rows.
Has GapsShow only rows where Confirmed < Required.

Sorting​

Click any column header to sort:

  • Fill Rate ascending: Shows the most critical gaps first (lowest fill rates at the top).
  • Fill Rate descending: Shows the most fully staffed positions first.
  • Required descending: Shows the largest staffing needs first, regardless of fill rate.
Sort by Fill Rate Ascending

When working to close staffing gaps, sort by Fill Rate ascending. This puts the most critically understaffed positions at the top of the list, helping you prioritize recruitment efforts.


Exporting Fill Rate Data​

To export fill rate data:

  1. Navigate to the Requirements / Fill Rate tab.
  2. Click the Export button in the toolbar.
  3. Choose a format:
    • CSV — Flat file with all rows expanded.
    • Excel (.xlsx) — Formatted spreadsheet with color coding preserved.
    • PDF — Printable report with the hierarchical layout.

The export includes all data currently shown on the tab, respecting any active filters.


Real-Time Updates​

Fill rates update in real time as candidate statuses change:

ActionEffect on Fill Rate
Caregiver status changed to ConfirmedFill rate increases.
Caregiver status changed from Confirmed to DeclinedFill rate decreases.
New caregiver imported and set to ConfirmedFill rate increases.
Shift requirement (Required value) increasedFill rate decreases (denominator increases).
Shift requirement (Required value) decreasedFill rate increases (denominator decreases).

No manual refresh is needed. The tab reflects the current state whenever it is viewed.


Sharing Fill Rates Externally​

For sharing fill rate data with hospital clients who do not have a system login, use the Public Fill Rate page. This provides a read-only view accessible via a shareable link.

Troubleshooting​

Fill rate shows N/A​

No requirement has been set for that facility/unit/specialty/shift combination. Set a required value on the Shift Requirements grid.

Fill rate seems wrong​

Verify that the Confirmed count is accurate by checking the Candidates tab. Only caregivers in Confirmed status count toward fill rate. Caregivers in Invited, Pending, or Declined status do not.

Fill rate exceeds 100%​

More caregivers are confirmed than the required number. This indicates overstaffing for that position. Review whether the requirement needs to be increased or some confirmations should be reassigned.
