A Phase 2 Consulting White PaperNow a part of the Premier healthcare allianceT H E K E Y T O B U D G E T S U C C E S S : Optimal Staffing and Scheduling ManagementOur third White Paper is focused on how to achieve labor and quality targets through the development of a successful Staffing and Scheduling procedure. This topic is a major issue facing many clinical and financial executives today. Clinical Staffing and Scheduling is one of the largest single factors of poor financial, productivity and quality performance. In the last seven years, when ana-lyzing nursing clinical budgets nine out of ten systems are not within 1%-3% of a flex budget. More important-ly, they are experiencing high turnover rates, burnout among care providers and rising sentinel events. The rationale is largely attributed to the nursing shortage. However, when analyzing the proposed Staffing plans and models of care, the hours of care used are gener-ally adequate, but the type of FTE and dollar variances exceed budget norms.
A good staffing and scheduling plan can and will alter these trends and allow appropriate staffing to improve financial and clinical performance. Phase 2 Consulting has identified three common themes contributing to the adverse patient care staffing and budget trends. • Lack of patient care strategic planning • Incomplete budget methodology
