Resource Scheduling

“Providing the right resource at the right rate at the right time.”

Healthcare organizations are dedicated to quality of patient care, while being challenged with cost management. Providing the right resources, while creating work schedules that take into consideration both cost containment and regulatory compliance is a challenge most healthcare executives face. Additionally, improved Human Capital Management processes in the area of Scheduling with employee access to their schedules and time worked can lead to increased employee satisfaction.

Our ISH team of Resource Scheduling experts has deep experience in working with healthcare organizations to meet these challenges.

Critical Success Factors within Resource Scheduling include:

Overtime

Overtime costs have a major impact on your organization’s bottom line. Implementing an accurate, real-time process to monitor employee overtime and an efficient way to view holiday schedules can vastly improve efficiency and costs.

Credentialing

Providing the properly trained resources for each job description is essential to both cost management and risk management. Do you have a centralized system that tracks certifications, training and credentials, assuring that the proper resource is placed for each job assigned?

Per Diem and Agency

Utilizing agency and per diem resources is a major factor in escalating costs. The ability to view all available employees for each shift, with information concerning the employee’s willingness to work overtime coupled with access to analysis concerning the use of per diem and agency workers and the costs associated can aid your organization in making cost efficient decisions about staffing.

Compliance

Keeping track of compliance issues is key to avoiding costly and time consuming legal issues. Does your organization have a centralized way to extract data, assuring union and regulatory compliance?

Position Management

Having a system in place to track appropriate positions and staffing levels and providing your Finance department with access to position information for tracking costs leads to a more efficient process.

Proper staffing on a daily basis needs to be monitored in an efficient manner in real time. Do your managers have an efficient way to review who signed in, and therefore be able to deal with any staffing issues?
