IMPACT! Staffing Benchmarks

IMPACT!^TM Staffing Benchmarks provides more than data. As an IMPACT!^TMBenchmarks client, you have the tools to initiate cost variance resolution.

IMPACT!^TMcombines the proven reliability of the Profile database and the speed and power of the Internet to place world-class service at your fingertips.

The IMPACT!™ Benchmarking Database:

Includes validated client information from more than 600 hospitals, 18,000 departments, and 240 department types.
Data are subjected to a validation process that employs layered human reviews and powerful machine algorithms to evaluate data relationships within and across departments.
This validation process detects and screens out invalid data at the front end to safeguard database integrity.

The unique IMPACT!™ Peer Group Selection Process:

We generate buy-in through a front-end explanation or our peer group selection process.
Peer groups are selected based on similar intrinsic factors (i.e. the work to be done.)
Due to our selection process, in the end you receive useful, practical, management information (not just more data).

Ease of Use

IMPACT!^TMmakes maximum possible use of your existing management data set and imposes minimal demands on staff time. There are no burdensome reporting requirements. There is no need to hire or assign a "data guru" to input data, shuffle numbers, or explain reports. IMPACT!^TMis practical, simple, and easy to set up and use. It is a service, not an additional burden.

Process Length

By the time other benchmarking services turn your data around, it is ancient history. With the hospital's cooperation, the IMPACT!^TM process can be completed in under a month.

After initial setup, IMPACT!^TMallows you to instantly benchmark performance, for a single department or hospital wide, the moment your internal data are available. You can even benchmark department performance prospectively, testing the productivity effect of department staffing patterns using varying workload scenarios.

Service Package Options

The IMPACT!^TM productivity benchmarking service provides a full array of service and pricing options.

We offer service packages that include an onsite kickoff meeting with onsite department head interviews. For hospitals interested in limiting out-of-pocket costs, we offer service packages at a reduced price that include a web-conference kickoff meeting and telephone interviews for department head managers.

The process is fast and surprisingly inexpensive. This worthy investment is a leading manager's must-have. For a detailed description and pricing information, please click here.
