Staffing Utilization –
Schedule the Right Staff, at the Right Place(s) and
the Right Time(s)
Physicians, Nurses and other staff members are the
most valuable resources in the Healthcare system, yet
often more time is spent planning for equipment and
facilities than on how to most effectively utilize staff.
It’s critical to understand and predict appropriate
scheduling of FTE’s in order to deliver optimum
patient care and help improve job satisfaction for Doctors
and Nurses.
With ProModel’s Healthcare solutions you can
determine the right type of staff at the right time,
in the right place and the right quantity specific to
your environment. For example, in an ED, you can accurately
determine and take into account daily, weekly and seasonal
variation in patient arrivals, by acuity level, and
then predict the most appropriate staffing patterns
to handle each situation.
Example of a comparative output chart showing the difference
in ED Physician requirements. The two graphs show an
hour by hour comparison during the 7am to 8pm shift
for a Tuesday vs. Wednesday of the scheduled resources
(black line) vs. the predicted actual resources required
(red line).
