HR reporting and analytics for Eye Hospitals: counting patients, camps and staff on one page
An eye hospital already counts patients. Placing those counts beside staff numbers, absence, camp days and exits shows where people are stretched before it turns into resignations.

Eye hospitals are good at counting patients seen, surgeries done and spectacles sold. They are less good at counting what it takes from staff. Nobody can say quickly how many patients each optometrist sees, how many camp days one team did in a quarter or how absence rose in the busy season. Decisions about hiring and rosters are then made on feeling, and the loudest voice wins.
A reporting process puts a few people numbers beside the patient numbers. It is a one-page monthly view for the head, not a thick file. It shows load per role, camp days, overtime, absence and exits, and compares them month to month. Numbers are checked with the heads of department so they match what they see, and they are used to ask questions, not to blame.
How to set it up
1. Choose a few numbers per role
For optometrists: patients tested per day. For theatre: cases per list and turnover time. For camps: days away per person. Add absence and exits for all.
2. Get data from records you already keep
Use registers, rosters, camp logs and attendance sheets. Avoid new forms unless needed. A sheet kept honestly beats a system kept badly.
3. Build a one-page monthly view
Show this month, last month and the same month last year. Mark anything that has moved a lot. Our HR reporting and analytics page describes the approach.
4. Check numbers with department heads
Before the view goes to management, ask each head whether it matches what they see on the floor. Correct errors and note the reasons.
5. Use it to decide
Review the page monthly with the head and heads of department. Use it to plan hiring, camp cover and training, and record what was decided.
Check these first
Before changing anything, find out what is true today. These take an afternoon and use your own records.
- Ask how many patients each optometrist saw last Tuesday and see how long it takes to find out.
- List camp days per person for the last quarter.
- Check whether absence by area is known to the head.
- Look at whether any hiring decision this year used figures.

Questions owners ask
No. Begin with a sheet fed from your registers and rosters. If it gives one useful page each month, it is doing its job. Consider software only if volume overwhelms the sheet.
There is no single one, but patients per tester beside absence and exits is a good start. Together they show strain building before staff resign.
Share them openly, check them with the department head first and use them to ask what help a team needs. When staff see numbers lead to support, they report them honestly.
