Staffing Challenges

In the best of times, finding and keeping good staff is the key challenge facing home health and hospice providers. As we enter the third year of the pandemic, it is even more difficult to acquire and maintain adequate staffing levels.  And it’s not like staffing challenges haven’t always existed – it’s just that recent events like the pandemic and substantial shifts in everyone’s perspective on work has changed the situation for the worse.

More than ever, you need to be looking at every opportunity to:

  • Reduce the complexity of challenging workflows and processes, especially around clinical documentation
  • Deploy technology to reduce manual work, streamline processes and increase clinician productivity (especially in data use and clinical documentation)
  • Consider and strategically virtualize key staff roles where a specific skillset can be better leveraged across a geography instead of tied to one
  • Re-purpose clinical staff to be working at the “top of their license” – both in clinical care and in the use of those clinical specialists in your middle and back-office operations
  • Radically improve the branch level processes in your organization so that clinical managers and care teams are delivering more patient care and doing less administrative work

When looking for a partner to help you address these difficult problems, make sure they understand your business and the unique issues that affect your ability to attract and retain staff.
