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
