New Initiative – Labor Budget Load • Requirement---The Johns Hopkins Medicine Hospitals require monthly actual/budget labor variance reporting. • Objective--- Provide an Enterprise wide solution for Labor budget data to be loaded in the BW. • Entities--- The Johns Hopkins Health System and The JHU School of Medicine. • Process---The upload format will be a csv file which will be “dropped” in XI by the business owners. The Labor Budget Load will be loaded as frequently as required and validation rules will be applied to each file. Every Labor Budget Load submission will replace the prior submission. Therefore, only one “version” will be contained in BW at a time. • Data---The data provided may be as granular as budgeting at the position level. • End result---Labor reporting which includes the calculation of FTE’s and variance reporting for hours, dollars and FTE’s.
