Three main sources:– CHCS via Workload Assignment Module

(WAM)– Manual entry– ADM feed – CPT codes

MEPRSMEPRSMEDICAL EXPENSE & PERFORMANCE REPORTING SYSTEM Definitions

Full Time Equivalent (FTE)– Amount of labor available to the MTF work center if a person works

1 month– 168 Man-Hours = 1 FTE

(Avg. 21 Days/Month x 8 Hours) Assigned FTEs

– Listed on facility manning documents for military, civilian and contractor (personal and non-personal services) personnel.

Available FTEs– Reported for assigned, attached, borrowed, contracted, and loaned

personnel, and volunteers.– Includes but not limited to clinical, administrative, education,

readiness activities. Non-Available FTEs

– Annual, sick, and holiday leave

MEPRSMEPRSMEDICAL EXPENSE & PERFORMANCE REPORTING SYSTEM Labor allocation

An individual’s monthly pay is allocated to each cost or work center based on the % of time spent in each area.

For MEPRS processing, personnel assigned a pay grade – Example:

• E-7 - $6975.67• GS-11, Step 1 - $3581• O-2 - $7291.42• Contractor - $0*

Military Labor: Utilizes composite pay tables Civilian labor: Actual pay source - DCPS

Labor

*Contractor expenses are included on the financial file imported from the service accounting systems.

Note: Specific composite pay rates may vary between services. Composite pay rates include pay and benefits.

MEPRSMEPRSMEDICAL EXPENSE & PERFORMANCE REPORTING SYSTEM Labor Reporting Systems

Current - SPMS II (Standard Personnel Management System II)– Navy-only system– Decentralized client/server application

• Each site has their own server and data is not visible outside the command at a detail level

Future – DMHRSi (Defense Medical Human Resources System-Internet)– Tri-service system– Centralized application with a single server

accessed via the internet.• All data is visible centrally• HR data input is minimal due to central server

Labor

23

MEPRSMEPRSMEDICAL EXPENSE & PERFORMANCE REPORTING SYSTEM Labor Reporting Systems

SPMS– Users report man-hours for calendar month by

using department codes and/or time types. Data is entered as a monthly value.

– Data is entered into SPMS centrally.– Borrowed/Loaned labor is reported by both

commands manually (each site must enter the labor)

– Exports:• Data (hours and expenses (if applicable) for all

personnel is exported to EAS IV.• Data for military (active and reserve) is exported to

SMART.

Labor

24


DMHRSi– Users report their own labor using tasks and time

types on a daily basis and submit it bi-weekly (matches civilian timecard periods).

• This provides a greater level of detail available for data analysis.

– Loaned labor is automatically determined based on the individual’s assignment and where they report their labor.

– Exports:• Data (hours and expenses (if applicable) for all

personnel is exported to EAS IV.• Data for military (active and reserve) and contractors is

exported to SMART.

Allocation Process

Cost Pools purified: Inpatient wards allocate shared expenses to services utilizing services, based on bed days

Support Accounts: Uses assignment sequence numbers

Ancillary Accounts: Uses assignment sequence numbers

30

MEPRSMEPRSMEDICAL EXPENSE & PERFORMANCE REPORTING SYSTEM Allocation Accounts

Final Operating Accounts

– A - Inpatient Care

– B - Ambulatory Care

– C - Dental Care

– F - Special Programs

– G - Medical Readiness Intermediate (Stepdown) Accounts

– D - Ancillary Services

– E - Support Services Ancillary and Support expenses are allocated

(stepped-down) across final accounts

Allocation

31

MEPRSMEPRSMEDICAL EXPENSE & PERFORMANCE REPORTING SYSTEM Cost Pools

–Identified with an “X” in the 3rd Level FCC code

–Used when time and expense cannot be specifically assigned because two or more work centers share space, personnel or supplies. For example, mixed wards.

–Expenses and FTEs in cost pools are reassigned (purified) on the basis of workload.

–Cost pools are purified in alphabetical order before allocation of support and ancillary expenses.

Allocation

32

MEPRSMEPRSMEDICAL EXPENSE & PERFORMANCE REPORTING SYSTEM Cost Pool Allocation

Ward 3E has a supply closet shared by three specialties -- Cost Pool ABX ($100)–ABA - General Surgery (25 OBDs)–ABI - Plastic Surgery (25 OBDs)–ABK - Urology (50 OBDs)

Supply costs accumulated in ABX ($100) are purified based on each specialty’s proportional Ward 3E occupied bed days (OBDs)

ABI$25

ABK$50
