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?"
Fill Rate Formula​
The fill rate is calculated as:
Fill Rate = (Confirmed Caregivers / Required Caregivers) x 100%
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Confirmed Caregivers | The number of caregivers in Confirmed status for a given facility/unit/specialty/shift combination. |
| Required Caregivers | The number of caregivers needed, as defined in Shift Requirements. |
Example Calculation​
| Facility | Unit | Specialty | Shift | Required | Confirmed | Fill Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Memorial General | ICU | RN - Critical Care | Day | 12 | 10 | 83.3% |
| Memorial General | ICU | RN - Critical Care | Night | 8 | 8 | 100.0% |
| Memorial General | Med-Surg | RN - Med-Surg | Day | 15 | 9 | 60.0% |
Edge Cases​
| Scenario | Fill Rate |
|---|---|
| Required = 0 and Confirmed = 0 | Displayed as N/A (no requirement has been set). |
| Required = 0 and Confirmed > 0 | Displayed as Over (caregivers are confirmed but no requirement exists). |
| Confirmed > Required | Displayed as the calculated percentage (e.g., 120%). Indicates overstaffing. |
Color-Coded Thresholds​
Fill rate values are color-coded for quick visual assessment:
| Color | Fill Rate Range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Green | 90% - 100% | On target. Staffing needs are met or nearly met. |
| Yellow | 70% - 89% | At risk. Additional staffing is needed. |
| Red | Below 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.
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​
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Location | Facility/unit/specialty hierarchy (expandable tree). |
| Shift | Day, Night, or Evening (shown at the specialty level). |
| Required | Number of caregivers needed. |
| Confirmed | Number of caregivers in Confirmed status. |
| Pending | Number of caregivers in Invited or Pending status (not yet confirmed). |
| Declined | Number of caregivers who declined. |
| Fill Rate | Calculated percentage, color-coded. |
Aggregated Fill Rates​
Fill rates aggregate upward through the hierarchy:
| Level | How It's Calculated |
|---|---|
| Specialty + Shift | Confirmed / Required for that specific combination. |
| Unit | Sum of all Confirmed across specialties and shifts in the unit, divided by sum of all Required. |
| Facility | Sum of all Confirmed across units, divided by sum of all Required. |
| Event | Sum of all Confirmed across all facilities, divided by sum of all Required. |
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​
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Facility | Show data for a specific facility only. |
| Shift Type | Show only Day, Night, or Evening requirements. |
| Fill Rate Status | Show only Green, Yellow, or Red rows. |
| Has Gaps | Show 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.
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:
- Navigate to the Requirements / Fill Rate tab.
- Click the Export button in the toolbar.
- 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:
| Action | Effect on Fill Rate |
|---|---|
| Caregiver status changed to Confirmed | Fill rate increases. |
| Caregiver status changed from Confirmed to Declined | Fill rate decreases. |
| New caregiver imported and set to Confirmed | Fill rate increases. |
| Shift requirement (Required value) increased | Fill rate decreases (denominator increases). |
| Shift requirement (Required value) decreased | Fill 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.
Permissions Reference​
| Action | Required Permission |
|---|---|
| View fill rate data | Events.FillRate |
| Edit shift requirements (which affect fill rates) | Events.Update |
| Export fill rate data | Events.FillRate |
| Access public fill rate page | No permission needed (public 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.
