Healthcare Labor Management Consulting
Effective healthcare labor management strategies provide hospitals the greatest opportunity to hedge against the unknown and uncontrollable ramifications of decreased Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, sliding bond ratings, and healthcare reform.
The number and severity of external challenges impacting healthcare has provided forward-thinking leaders the incentive to focus on the areas within their organizations that can yield the greatest impact.
Accounting for 60% or more of every hospital’s operating budget, labor provides the opportunity for even small, incremental improvements to be substantial to both the bottom line and quality of care.
At Avantas, our healthcare labor management consultants work closely with key members of your organization to develop and implement plans that effectively address the labor management issues specific to you.
Within our client environments, Avantas has identified five key healthcare labor management strategies that effectively drive savings across the continuum of labor through the implementation of customized best-practice labor management strategies:
- Analyzing staffing and scheduling of core staff resources to ensure alignment with staffing plans
- Right-sizing and strategically layering contingency staff to handle the ebb and flow of patient demand
- Tailoring department-specific strategies to align operational best practices with your desired future state
- Developing a solution to manage and deploy resources from a central hub
