I am just wondering, how are your FTE statistics weighted in your
facilities.  I would really appreciate help on this.

I thank everyone in advance. 

 I am trying to justify a new FTE for our histology department.  I have
collected data for 4 years to show in the increase in blocks, slides and
patient cases.  The data also shows which facility all the above mentioned
material originated from.  I did not separate out the "in" from the "out"
patient information.  

I have heard that we no longer use cap as a way of measuring how an FTE is
weighted.

I am just wondering if some of the following would be involved and how one
might give a value to each one, to determine 100%

blocks embedded
blocks cut
slides stained
slides coversliped
