Texas Health Resources is using real-time workforce data to improve the nursing experience and empower their nurse managers (and leadership) to make more informed staffing decisions.

During this webinar, leaders will share how they used their performance management tool to unite staffing and scheduling data, trended volumes and census-based targets into a single source of truth for nurse managers to create action plans and communicate decisions to leadership. Hear feedback from front-line managers on how real-time workforce data has created efficiency in decision-making.

Key learnings:

  • The value real-time insights have brought to their nursing teams
  • How real-time data can empower nursing leaders to make cost-informed staffing decisions
  • How a single source of truth can allow for more efficient staffing huddles and resource allocation conversations

In order to optimize staffing with real-time labor data, organizations must equip their leaders with trustworthy data, in the right format, at the right time. This means analyzing your source data, using a tool to present actionable analytics, and defining a process which incentivizes agile-decision making. Join leaders from Strata Decision Technology to discuss building a culture centered around incorporating real-time data and insights into staffing decisions. Original Live Webinar Date: August 17, 2023

Key learnings:

  • Understand organizational mindset required to incorporate real-time data into daily staffing decision-making
  • Identify necessary steps to enable accurate and actionable labor management data that can be generated and used in real time
  • Recognize the importance of comprehensive timekeeping policies required to empower the use of real-time data

Healthcare organizations across the country are facing a volatile environment as they respond to one of the worst financial crises in the history of healthcare. Leaders are exploring more efficient processes to bring agility and accuracy to their hospital’s financial planning.

Join as leaders from Strata Decision Technology guide attendees through the two main types of budgeting, weighing the pros and cons of each. See examples from peer organizations who are leading the way during uncertain times.

Learning Objectives:

  • Contrast the two different types of planning methods, traditional budgeting and dynamic planning
  • Understand how more agile, efficient planning can impact financial recovery at your organization
  • Determine the path forward in planning for your organization

Most provider organizations have invested in EHRs to automate documentation, orders, clinical communication, billing and more. While these systems form the foundation to support a healthcare organization’s clinical and operational workflow, their lack of integration leaves behind a missing piece in the equation.

To make the connection between these two disparate views, healthcare leaders need access to strategies and tools that can help smart people make smart decisions using both clinical and financial data.

Today, a new category is emerging for healthcare: the Enterprise Performance Management system, which allows providers to drive performance. This webinar will discuss what EPM really means, what it should include and how different organizations are using EPMs to make a real difference in their performance.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Strategies and considerations when bringing together clinical and financial data
  • Requirements to consider when evaluating EPM solutions and tools
  • How to actually drive change through the use of EPM strategies
  • How leading health systems like Texas Children’s Hospital & Intermountain Healthcare have applied these concepts and the benefits they’ve seen
