Total Labor Resource Management

eighty20 healthcare consulting’s integrated methodology reduces costs while increasing labor productivity by assessing a hospital’s operational strengths and weaknesses. Our model is driven not by benchmarks, but rather by data to identify the best use of labor to meet the needs of the facility and its patients. We work to build trust, credibility and cooperation among the leaders driving the organization’s clinical, finance, information, human resources and medical departments.

With labor costs accounting for as much as half of a hospital’s operating budget, a thorough analysis is critical to making the best use of an organization’s human resources and to the success of new initiatives. At eighty20, we evaluate the human resource components of an organization’s entire operation — from patient throughput, bed placement and care management, to staffing and scheduling, work processes and pay practices.

We help clients adopt a systemic understanding of how day-to-day decisions drive excess costs, with solutions focused on:

• Effective data flow and communications between nursing, finance and IT
• Education for Directors and Managers on the subtle factors that impact labor costs
• Redesign of work flow and processes

We work on-site with leadership to implement performance metrics, review cost savings and assess clinical improvements. Our system is designed to measure gains and monitor quality.
