How Workforce Solutions Makes an Impact on Healthcare Systems and Facilities

Over the last five years, the Healthcare industry has evolved and experienced more unprecedented change than ever before.  Budget management has become increasingly difficult while burnout and turnover wreak havoc on positive patient outcomes.  Making an impact is key and to do so, Healthcare Systems and Facilities must utilize a customizable solution to fit the variety of needs that they have.

 Below, we discuss different aspects of what you can expect from your Workforce Solutions platform and how they create a consistent, positive impact for your organization.

What are Workforce Solutions?

Workforce Solutions is an all-encompassing resource that creates a manageable approach to blending your Permanent and Temporary Labor Staffing.  These solutions can be via a Vendor Neutral Approach that alleviates supplier bias while casting your net wide or via a Managed Services Provider who will tailor customizable solutions directly to you to create efficiencies, provide cost savings, promote positive patient outcomes, enhance clinician quality, and simply the credentialing process.

Clear, Concise Communication for your Talent Acquisition Team and Department Leaders

Workforce Solutions eliminates the opportunity for miscommunication and allows Talent Acquisition members and Department Leaders to remain aligned on decisions that matter most.

Our Workforce Solutions technology provides robust, real-time data for individuals to make insight driven decisions and communicate efficiently.  All information can be housed within the platform and create alignment through the entire staffing life cycle.

With real-time market data, decision makers can forecast needs accurately and prevent overextending themselves when the market doesn’t call for it.  Additionally, it allows them to take control of their Workforce Management and find the perfect blend between Permanent and Temporary Labor.

Impact on the Most Important Areas of Your Organization

Communication

Communication is good.  Clear, concise, and timely communication is great!  Through your Workforce Solutions partnership, your designated Account Manager will work together with you to customize all communication to the method and cadence that works best for you.  From the interview process to First Days Information and arrival, your Account Manager will be there to provide transparent information and lead to successful delivery of a quality clinician.

Facility Insight

Your Account Manager is responsible for pushing information on your facility out to the hundreds of staffing partners within our Workforce Solutions platform.  They’ll work to set you apart as a destination that our quality clinicians want to visit.  A location that they want to call home.  This is accomplished through our continued partnership and a deep dive to develop a relationship that goes far deeper than just numbers and metrics.  We’re invested in becoming the partner you can rely on and take that responsibility very seriously.

Billing and Timekeeping

Our Workforce Solution technology creates an abundance of efficiency in the timekeeping and billing process.  With the ability to approve/deny timesheets in real time, convert those timesheets into instant invoices, and slice reporting down to much finer detail – we provide you the ultimate resource to examine your cost savings and ensure that excess funds aren’t walking out the door.  Additionally, integration and implementation is key.  Our Workforce Solution technology has open API’s and can integrate with all electronic timekeeping options while making implementation simple and easy.

Compliance

Simplified, accurate, and timely.  Our Compliance process is Joint Commission accredited and adaptable to your organization’s standards.  Our focus is ensuring that quality clinicians make their way to your organization to provide positive patient outcomes.  The Compliance process can be monitored via our Workforce Solutions technology and allows for routine updates as needed.  All communication is available and time-stamped to alleviate any burdens or issues.

High Quality Clinicians that Promote Positive Patient Outcomes

Quality clinicians are crucial for a cohesive blend of Permanent and temporary staff members.  They are typically the individuals who will go above and beyond.  Working extra shifts.  Providing key insight.  Helping new clinicians grow into confident clinicians.  To provide as many positive patient outcomes as we can, we send all Workforce Solutions candidates through a customized cultural and clinical pre-screen process prior to being submitted to your organization’s decision maker.

Our Clinical team is tasked with ensuring these candidates are a culture fit as well as a clinical fit, based on the information gathered during implementation.  Our Clinical Liaison will work with your department leaders to gain an understanding of requirements for their floor and unit while creating a blueprint to success for us to gauge our pre-screens on.  We’ll work with you to customize your questionnaire and ensure that the questions that matter most are the ones that are being asked.  By doing so, we eliminate the chances of underperforming clinicians getting through and negatively impacting the culture that’s been created within your organization.

Market Data for Insight Driven Decisions

Transparency

Our Workforce Solutions technology provides real-time, transparent data that is key to accurately forecasting spend while providing insight into areas of cost savings.  That data isn’t hidden from view.  It’s out front and available always.  Being transparent about what your organization is spending and where we can provide hard dollar savings is key to providing you with the financial sustainability that you deserve.

Performance Metrics

Continued evaluation of the suppliers in your Workforce Solutions panel is key to understanding how to customize solutions directly to your organization.  Analyzing preferred partners, their performance, and how it forecasts in the future allows you to be ahead of any market trends and add suppliers to any tiers that you set.  This way, your organization isn’t behind the eight ball when the time comes to ramp up your staff for flu season, etc.  Scorecards are available for all of our suppliers while real-time reporting provides visibility to your Talent Acquisition team and Department Leaders on time to fill, fill rates, and assignment completion rates.

Unparalleled Access to Data

Generate robust reports to either aid in your Workforce Management or replace current reporting inefficiencies within your own organization.  We’re here to be a resource, whether that’s with Perm and Temporary staffing or even assisting in the generation of internal reporting that allows your leaders to make efficient, insight driven decisions.

Burnout and Turnover Causing Turmoil

An ideal Workforce Solutions partner does not fill every role in an organization with a temporary staff member.  By doing so, they instead create instability and uncertainty when it comes to consistency of Permanent staff satisfaction and uncertainty in whether the organization can sustain the financial burden that’s been imposed.  Alternatively, their goal is to prevent burnout being a badge of honor and provide consistency for all staff members, Permanent and Temporary alike.

Over the last five years, work-life balance has become a key, central focus in the lives of all clinicians.  As a Workforce Solutions partner, we take our portion of the partnership extremely seriously as we understand that our solutions help provide that work-life balance.  Better work-life balance leads to less burnout and turnover, which leads to better continuity of care, which leads to more positive patient outcomes.

Positive Patient Outcomes

How does PTH affect patient outcomes?  By building a network of quality clinicians who are committed and invested in the communities that they travel to.  They lead the way in providing quality care and humanize the relationship between provider and patient. 

This routinely leads to better quality of care, operational efficiencies, and overall patient satisfaction.  It routinely makes a difference in facility recognition, overall census, and facility revenue.
