Labor encompassesnearly 50 percentof hospital costs, and, as the greatest healthcare operating expense, understanding and managing this cost is critical. Increasing financial pressures—heightened by the pandemic—highlight the urgency of controlling escalating labor costs. Using accurate data, organizations can pinpoint areas where staffing hours exceed or fall short of patient needs, allowing leaders to quickly recalibrate without compromising the quality of care delivery. Unfortunately, most health systems lack access to timely, augmented intelligence (AI)-empowered data, forcing a reliance on retrospective data that fails to deliver actionable insights.
To eliminate waste and reduce costs, leaders should turn to thelargest operating expensewithin their control—labor management. However, many decision makers still rely on obsolete systems that lack the tools to effectively inform staffing decisions. As a result, leaders use retrospective and inaccurate data to guess future patient volumes and staffing needs. These untimely and inefficient insights misalign staffing hours with patient needs and waste precious healthcare dollars and limited resources while potentially compromising quality of care.
本土的医疗保健劳动力管理系统也存在不足,因为它们缺乏从不同来源系统(包括工资单、EMR、时间和出勤)汇总大量劳动力数据的基础设施——这是提供劳动力需求全貌的一个障碍。这意味着最终用户需要依靠人工整理的劳动报告和碎片化的数据集来指导员工决策,而这些决策缺乏有价值的洞察力或预测能力。这些孤立的决定导致猜测,这不是一个可持续的解决方案,因为医疗保健劳动力管理挑战增加。
The PowerLabor application, part of the Health Catalyst Business Decision Support™ solutions , provides a comprehensive AI-enabled view of labor data by organization, department, team, and job role. The embedded AI forecasting predicts patient volumes, allowing for more proactive resource scheduling. With timely insight into future hospital needs, leaders can close the gap between required staffing and future patient volumes, control labor expenses, and track progress toward meeting budget and staffing targets while ensuring resources for excellent patient care.
PowerLabor features include the following:
