Overtime expenses can be substantial for hospitals, result in burnout and decreased efficiency among staff, and lead to costly increased pay rates. Pathstone can assist in analyzing staffing and scheduling practices to minimize overtime costs. This may include examining staff availability, patient volume, and scheduling practices to find more efficient scheduling options.
Pathstone takes a comprehensive approach to reducing overtime, focusing on reducing unnecessary overtime for maximum savings while improving overall productivity. Our team will collaborate with departmental stakeholders to align staffing needs and adjust schedules to reduce overtime or recommend hiring additional staff if necessary. Pathstone will also work with HR to review current overtime policies and procedures to implement control measures for reducing usage.
Pathstone’s Balanced Partnership® mindset serves as a foundation for all of our work. It recognizes the natural teaming that is required to achieve success, and reminds us that varying points of view or levels of expertise can be integrated into only the strongest of outcomes.
As such, we make our contributions to serve client needs with utmost humility, and prosper when approaches are uniquely calibrated by open dialog and the transfer of knowledge. By applying a nimble, collaborative approach to our engagements, we balance capabilities from each leader, decision maker, impacted stakeholder, and contributing team member to accelerate and enhance the total impact for our healthcare clients.
