Skill Mix Analysis
CHALLENGE:
Organizational design at your facility is an ever-changing landscape. Between facing
the ongoing challenge of recruitment and retention of qualified clinical staff,
to addressing annual budgets, expansions or opening new facilities, how you determine
the right blend of staff impacts your bottom line and the overall satisfaction of
your patients and staff.
SOLUTION:
GRASP Systems has developed a Skill Mix Analysis to help your facility
determine the appropriate blend of staff within a specific unit based on patient
needs.
The key to completing a successful Skill Mix Analysis is to use an actual patient
population and determine the appropriate skill level of the person who should be
handling each intervention. This approach provides an accurate picture of your needs,
rather than simply a mirror image of the status quo.
The GRASP Skill Mix Analysis not only examines the direct and clinical care of the
patient, but the indirect care as well. Our four-step process can:
- indicate how many professional and support staff are necessary
- evaluate the availability and accessibility of resources in the geography to support
organizational objectives
- recommend the most appropriate delivery mechanism
- assist in achieving consensus at all levels of the organization
