Client Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"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."
