PPD Executive Summary
Modelled
These are what-if figures, not what happened. Your workbook is untouched.
right sends agency hours to payroll staff; left sends payroll hours to agency, which is the cheaper way round wherever your agency rate sits below your loaded in-house rate
what you pay per agency hour
loaded wage including benefits — a raise or differential
occupancy up or down, hours moving with it
hours per patient day, at every discipline

Cost is rebuilt from the hours and rates in your workbook, so every figure traces back to it.
Overtime uses the premium you set above, since the sheet records OT as a share of hours
but not what it costs. Everything else comes straight from the workbook.
Levers apply to whatever facilities your filters have selected. A facility with no agency hours in the month has no agency rate of its own, so hours sent to agency there are priced at the portfolio rate.
Where your sheet carries agency hours by discipline, each shift is priced at that discipline’s own agency ACPH against its own in-house ACPH, and the in-house figure is taken to be loaded — benefits already inside it, the same basis that makes your variance columns comparable.
In-house hours in a discipline are read as its HPPD times census, less its agency hours.

This total is Admin + RN + LPN + NA (in-house and agency) at the ACPH rates above, plus Bonus $ — it will run below the sheet's own Total cost whenever a facility has PTO $, an agency premium, or hours in a discipline outside these four. Benefits % is shown for reference only; in-house ACPH from the sheet is already a loaded rate, so it is not applied again here.
Read from the actuals for the month and filters you have selected, never from the modelled figures,
so every line traces back to the workbook. Copy briefing puts the same numbers on your clipboard to paste
into Claude yourself. The key box is optional and is held in this tab only — it is never written into
this file, so it is not carried to anyone you send the file to, and it has to be pasted again after a reload.

Drag a card to reorder it, or use the arrows in its corner. × removes it.
A comparison card leads with the gap between the two figures; only metrics on the same scale can be paired.
Starting numbers, not a standard. Set them to whatever your portfolio actually holds facilities to.
