In numbers
−38%staff cost
−30%care hours needed
−22%patient incidents
6 wksshift planning ahead
The situation
A paediatric hospital chain with more than 12 centres had high staff costs. Shift rosters were informal and out of date, so there was no daily visibility or control. The chain leaned heavily on costly agency staff.
What we did
- Scoped the planning gaps quickly.
- Built a resource planning system for shift planning six weeks ahead.
- Brought patient, staff and budget data into one visual view.
- Introduced a structured electronic planning system, with daily adjustments.
The result
- Staff cost fell 38%, and was managed to budget.
- Required care hours fell 30%.
- Patient incidents fell 22%.
