As staffing challenges continue to prevail, healthcare organizations must view them through a new lens—making the most of existing staff resources and rewarding performance. One key question to ask: if staff gave10% more effort every day, how would that impact operational margin? Like most healthcare organizations, Atlas Healthcare Partners sought solutions to an array of converging issues that include declining reimbursements, increasing costs and staff deficiencies. Organizational leadership devised a strategy to capitalize on labor effectiveness across its 27 ASCs. Realizing that recognition and rewards are critical to retaining the best staff in today’s competitive climate, Atlas implemented an infrastructure built on effective intelligence that would provide real-time insight into employee performance, allowing the organization to creatively implement programs to motivate staff. In this session, participants will learn how Atlas decreased its labor dependence and drove revenue cycle improvements. Speakers will also demonstrate how a healthy dose of competition in daily work can drive improved productivity and outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
Point out the bottom-line impacts of today’s labor deficiencies and why staffing models built on labor effectiveness will define success going forward
Organize an incentive-based revenue cycle
Examine solutions to get beyond the data limitations of today’s practice management and EHRs to help identify and reward top performers
