In an environment where patient demand is different every day, effective rostering and activity planning is critical to deploying a skilled workforce to deliver quality clinical services, while also enabling the department or theatre to operate as efficiently as possible. Yet despite this, rostering is often left to unqualified individuals.
Supported by Analytical, HR and Finance experts, our team of former and practicing clinicians will use the latest analytics techniques to bring new insights that increase rostering effectiveness. Our recommendations not only identify cost reduction opportunities, but also improve staff productivity, care continuity and patient flow.
We run analytics across the full spectrum of current performance data, from rostering efficiency, to the nursing and medical staffing levels and skills mix, to ward location, to patient flow, case mix and outcomes.
Our methodology aligns staffing to activity using real facility data – including number of beds, patient acuity, bed occupancy and clinician-to-patient ratios – while building in workforce leave management plans and staffing contingency.
Reviews take six to eight weeks. Cost savings and operational productivity / efficiency / quality improvements appear within months.
We work in collaboration with key internal stakeholders to ensure review accuracy and get buy-in from those.
We don’t walk away after presenting our report. Our experts also support your team to implement the recommendations and ensure you get the identified performance benefits.
