1 Workforce Optimization for Healthcare 2015 The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,

2 Why Workforce Optimization Total Hospital Operating Expense 60% of hospital expense is labor 80% of the labor spend is variable 25% Supplies 15% Other 60% Labor Hospital margins are very tight: 3% Hospitals will have to cut 15% of their operating expense with Healthcare reform 2015 The Optimé Group Inc.

3 Workforce Optimization is Complex! There are too many variables to evaluate. Patient Volumes Hourly Wage Rates Staff Availability Staff Skill Mix Federal, State Rules Census Fluctuations Overtime Rates Staff Preferences Staff Capabilities Organization Rules Model of Care Contingent Rates Staff Non-Productive Staff Turnover Regulatory Constraints 2015 The Optimé Group Inc.

4 Workforce Optimization is Complex! There are multiple conflicting objectives. Match staffing with patient volumes Increase staff satisfaction Reduce costs Minimize managers time Reduce operational chaos Flex up / flex down efficiently 2015 The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,

5 Workforce Optimization is Complex! Need to plan in an uncertain environment Changing reimbursement Changing patient volumes Changing economy Changing labor markets Changing demographics Changing regulations but execute with certainty and in great detail The Optimé Group Inc.

6 Workforce Optimization is Complex! Department managers are not trained in Workforce Optimization approaches. Do not have the right tools and never enough time to think strategically or execute effectively The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,

7 Challenge: Demand Variability 25% 15% 2015 The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,

8 Challenge: Demand and Supply Variability Non-Productive utilization is higher when patient volumes are high The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,

9 Result of Demand and Supply Variability: Misalignment! 2015 The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,

10 Workforce Optimization is Very Complex! 2015 The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,

11 Conventional Thinking: Good Budgets Lead to Optimal Staffing Budget is not a strategy! Budgets are a financial measure of cost to take care of an expected number of patients. Traditional approaches to Budgeting do not consider Demand and Supply variability. Budgets are created once a year based on average daily census Every manager is assigned their $$ and schedules and staff their units There is huge variability in the quality of schedules based on managers skill, interest, and time Managers negotiate with staff on daily basis to fill holes the daily deals Supplemental office, staffed with clerical resources, sources contingent labor to fill holes. Budgets should be based on an optimized, executable strategy The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,

12 Conventional Thinking: Scheduling software will solve all our problems! Workforce Optimization: Is a lot more than Scheduling: Scheduling is just one piece of the overall solution. Scheduling software or other point solutions may in fact lead to worse outcomes The right scheduling app needs to be integrated into a holistic approach to workforce optimization Requires a complete Big Data, Analytical, and Operational toolset Along with Logistical, Analytical, and HR expertise Combined with exceptional People relationship skills And an unparalleled attention to Detail 2015 The Optimé Group Inc.

28 Staff and Manager Comments STAFF COMMENTS 100% better. I hope we never return to our previous system (ANSOS). I have had no issues. This system is a lot better. I feel as though it is done fairly... In the past, "favorities" of the schedulers got their wishlist as others suffered. I feel as though there is more effort to make ALL staff happy and not just a select few. Optime is definitely trying to make this scheduling process easy and accommodating by establishing good communication through s and the presence of Jamie on the unit. They display patience and understanding and are making scheduling changes per requests. Daily staffing has improved immensely. Clone Jamie because she is fantastic / Jamie is a great resource to have on the unit / Jamie is wonderful and works on the unit to help accommodate everyone's needs. MANAGER SATISFACTION Definitely feels we are better staffed now than before and we took a burden off of her. Sees reduction in chaos due to fewer obligations associated with scheduling The Optimé Group Inc. All rights reserved June 19,
