Current
Situation
and
Challenges:
Overcome
the
obstacles
to
delivering
cost-effective
quality
care For
every
healthcare
organization,
the
mission
is to
deliver
the
highest
quality
of
patient
care.
But an
enormous
challenge
stands
in the
way -
balancing
labor
costs
and
employee
satisfaction
in
today's
increasingly
competitive
environment.
The
American
Hospital
Association
tells us
that
nearly
60
percent
of
hospitals'
operating
costs go
to wages
and
benefits
for
caregivers.
Factor
in the
widespread
nursing
shortage
and
increasing
reliance
on
agencies
and
overtime
and it
becomes
easy to
see why
labor-cost
issues
are
growing,
with no
end in
site.
Home
healthcare
providers
face
many
uncommon
challenges
in the
area of
labor
management.
These
organizations
demand
significantly
higher
labor
costs
than
other
companies
in its
industry.
However,
these
labor
expenditures
enable
many of
these
providers
to
deliver
superior
services
and stay
ahead in
a
competitive
industry.
Assisted
living
communities
typically
provides
a wide
range of
care to
full-time
residents
in
disparate
geographic
regions.
Care
levels
range
from
minimal
assistance
to
specialized
care for
residents
requiring
service
from
experienced,
professional
caregivers
(e.g.
nurses,
house
managers,
and
other
staff).
Organizations
endeavor
to
administer
high-quality
care in
a either
at a
residents
site, or
at
unique
facility
structures.
This
model
requires
more
management
and
labor to
maintain
than
large
institutional
facilities,
such as
hospitals
or
traditional
nursing
homes.
Many
home
healthcare
providers
have a
need to
replace
its
outdated
workforce
tracking
methods
with an
automated
solution
that
would
enable
better
monitoring
and
analysis
of labor
costs.
Patient
care,
compliance,
and
employee
satisfaction
are a
lot to
manage.
Health
care
organizations
are
looking
to
technology
with a
renewed
focus,
seeking
opportunities
to
address
ever-changing
business
needs,
comply
with
government
regulations
such as
HIPAA,
control
labor
costs,
overcome
increased
competition
and
operate
successfully
and
profitably.
