Helen Edwards
The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
"As we prepared for our merger with Shrewsbury Hospitals NHS Trust, identifying
required staffing and skill mix needs was imperative. Only one site uses The GRASP
System. Information obtained via The GRASP System National Comparative Database
was instrumental in projecting our staffing needs quickly and efficiently. GRASP
is already in use at the Princess Royal Hospital, but whilst the trusts progress
with the merger, The GRASP System will be used at both sites to ensure uniformity
in data collection and availability of objective information at all times."
Trish Mason and Carol Harvey
Princess Royal Hospital, Teleford, England, UK
"We purchased GRASP to meet our state regulations. The surveyor's requests are easily
met. The added benefit is that we now have a wonderful tool that provides data for
budgeting, organizational changes, cost containment measures, etc. Our GRASP/MIStro
StafWorks reports have even allowed me to quickly identify, by unit, total RN hours
actually provided."
Faith Bettencourt
Seton Hospital, Daly City, California, USA
"During the survey, the director of Critical Care, Vicki Robinson spent time with
the surveyor explaining various things, including how GRASP is used to determine
staffing. In the report, their surveyor documented that their staffing was determined
with a sophisticated system. The Trauma Coordinator, Joanne Peters, was pleased
when the same trauma surveyor, remembering that East Texas Medical Center uses GRASP,
decided that it was not necessary to even look at staffing."
"The maternity services at the Trust have been using The GRASP System for 3 years
and thus the census information was examined for 1998 to 2000. The data was collated
for two areas to identify any increase in census over and above the normal bed complement.
This provided information on potential numbers of beds required, and to further
this, we also looked at trends and workload patterns in 1998/1999 and compared this
to current workload."
