Healthcare Productivity Configuration Overview

Summary of Healthcare Productivity, configuration steps, and integrations.

Healthcare Productivity allows managers to analyze payroll, volume, and daily labor data so that they can make informed budget decisions and schedule the right people in the right places at the right times. Managers can see actionable, timely metrics that are based on the actual volume for the day, the core scheduling plan, and the staffing decisions throughout the day.

Managers can then take corrective action before the end of the pay period to avoid falling outside of the acceptable productivity range.

Why use Healthcare Productivity?

To answer this question: How did I do?

  • And the core scheduling plan that I had in place,
  • And the staffing decisions that I made throughout the day.

Features

  • Standard reports compare volume and payroll data from third-party systems to daily labor counts.
  • Standard, formatted reports show variance trends in daily and pay period productivity that are based on daily timekeeping, daily volume, and payroll activity.
  • Import labor types, paycode definitions and categories from the timecard.
  • Support standard time periods and fiscal calendars.
  • Configuration of thresholds, targets, ad hoc reports, and business structure is flexible.
  • Data is shown by volume, work units, work group, or service line.

  • The Variance Advisor smart tile (custom tile) notifies managers of missed goals in productivity and labor budgets so that they investigate and take corrective actions. Healthcare Productivity metrics and reports provide productivity data, but Variance Advisor holds managers accountable for meeting the goals.
