iconLeveraging Workforce Management to Meet the Challenges and Demands of Acute Care Staffing, by IDC Health Insights
It is clear that hospitals need to move beyond minimum staffing ratios and make the best use of staff possible to meet the quality and productivity goals under healthcare reform. One trend in staffing today is the use of acuity classification which allows a more precise distribution of resources as staffing ratios can be customized to the acuity of patients, and denser coverage delivered to patients with the greatest need. IDC analyst Judy Hanover recommends that hospitals incorporate acuity data into staffing and scheduling processes and systems. Other technology trends for staffing and scheduling discussed are mobile communications, whole-house views and cetralized staffing. Download this Q&A to get insights on these solutions.
iconStaffing Long-Term Care to Meet the Demands of Increasing Acuity, by IDC Health Insights
Staffing and scheduling for long-term care already require careful attention to staffing ratios and costs like overtime and agency staffing. The increasing acuity of patients complicates staffing and scheduling further by requiring attention to additional factors, such as acuity and specialized staff skill sets, that must be balanced. Workforce management solutions that incorporate patient classification and patient/staff assignment tools can help generate schedules that account for all of these factors more easily, and the result will be a better and safer patient and staff experience. IDC analyst Judy Hanover recommends that long-term care operates leverage high-performing workforce management technology to deliver patient-centered care that will help improve resident satisfaction.
