Workforce Analytics

Using data to identify productivity improvements in rostering and activity planning

In an environment where patient demand is different every day, effective rostering and activity planning is critical to deploying a skilled workforce to deliver quality clinical services, while also enabling the department or theatre to operate as efficiently as possible. Yet despite this, rostering is often left to unqualified individuals.

Supported by Analytical, HR and Finance experts, our team of former and practicing clinicians will use the latest analytics techniques to bring new insights that increase rostering effectiveness. Our recommendations not only identify cost reduction opportunities, but also improve staff productivity, care continuity and patient flow.

We run analytics across the full spectrum of current performance data, from rostering efficiency, to the nursing and medical staffing levels and skills mix, to ward location, to patient flow, case mix and outcomes.

We can help you with:

Workforce assessment and roster redesign for junior doctors and nurses
Emergency department workforce and activity planning
Workforce and productivity reviews for operating theatres and radiology
Consultant job plan reviews
