Transform Your Labor Cost Management Strategy: Introducing the Health Catalys...Health Catalyst
Labor costs encompass nearly 60 percent of the typical healthcare budget and are growing faster than healthcare systems can afford. COVID-19 responses only exacerbated this financial pressure. Controlling escalating labor costs means eliminating waste and using data to find where budgeted staffing hours exceed or fall short of patient needs. Most organizations have the wrong tools to understand labor demands and instead try to guess future patient volumes and staffing needs by using retrospective data that lacks timeliness.
The Health Catalyst PowerLabor application leverages augmented intelligence (AI)-powered forecasting capabilities to deliver accurate labor data to operational leaders. With timely workforce insight, health systems can close the gap between staff budgeting and future patient volumes, control labor expenses, and track progress toward budget and staffing targets.
Join John Hansmann, Senior Vice President of Strategic Consulting Operations at Health Catalyst, and Sean Latimer, Senior Director of Product Management at Health Catalyst, as they demonstrate how PowerLabor can help your organization increase productivity while ensuring resources for excellent patient care.
What You’ll Learn About PowerLabor:
• View Comprehensive Labor Data in One Place: Department and unit managers can analyze labor costs with an integrated view of all labor productivity data, including cost and hours, by system, location, department, team, and job role in one location.
• Proactively Schedule to Volume: With a complete view of categorized labor hours in relation to costs (e.g., contracts, premiums, overtime, and staffing mix), decision makers can easily identify labor trends, comparisons, and rollups across departments to accurately predict labor needs, plan for changes in staffing, and optimize staff to patient ratios.
• Drive Adoption with Expert Guidance: To maximize the PowerLabor application, Health Catalyst experts help categorize and refine data through an initial assessment and data integration from multiple data sources (e.g., EMR, billing, HR/payroll, time and attendance, and general ledger). Our implementation teams also provide train-the-trainer sessions to drive the most effective adoption.

We have assembled these strategies into a new whitepaper. You will learn:
- How key concepts of Lean thinking can be applied to healthcare
- Why high-performing practices are using Lean to enable care team members to provide better care
- The financial advantages of a team-based, population health management approach in a value-based reimbursement system
The document discusses 4 dangerous trends facing medical groups: 1) Regulatory and compliance burdens continue to increase with many new regulations and compliance dates in 2015. 2) Operating costs continue to rise significantly each year, especially for staffing which accounts for over half of practice costs. 3) Provider reimbursement is declining from both government and commercial payers, with Medicare payments being cut and penalties increasing. 4) Patient collections have become critical with declining reimbursement. The presentation provides strategies for practices to address these challenges through improving productivity, evaluating costs, and protecting staff.
The Foundations of Success in Population Health ManagementHealth Catalyst
From hospital systems to large employers, organizations are increasingly taking on financial risk for the health of populations. Drivers of this trend include the update to the MSSP model, the recent CMS Primary Cares Initiative announcement, the increasing prevalence of the Medicare Advantage model, innovative partnerships in the self-insured employer space, and the proliferation of Medicaid ACOs. Yet while market pressures push organizations toward population risk, they don't necessarily help them succeed: most organizations are struggling to attain or sustain the dual imperatives of high-quality care and cost containment. A primary reason? Short-sighted and tactical approaches that don't provide the flexible data infrastructure and tools to adapt to emerging trends in population health—or to support short-term contractual requirements while building toward long-term success.
View this launch webinar to learn about Health Catalyst’s Population Health Foundations solution, a data and analytics-first starter set aimed at optimizing performance in value-based risk arrangements and providing the data ecosystem that will flex and adapt to complex needs of risk-bearing organizations.

Built on Health Catalyst’s foundational technology and supported by the nationwide experience and perspective of its experts, the Population Health Foundations solution helps organizations leverage multiple data sources to understand their patient populations and create meaningful views of financial and clinical quality performance. As a starter set that organizations can build on based on their needs, the solution is designed to compensate for the known limitations of “black box” population health applications that fail to reveal the “why” of analytic insights and exacerbate the challenges of transforming quality, cost, and care. The Population Health Foundations solution delivers the essential analytic tools needed for success under value-based risk arrangements.
In these slides you can expect to:
- Review recent changes to the field of value-based care, and reactions and insights from the market
- Discover how the Population Health Foundations solution can act as a comprehensive, data-first analytics solution to support your population stratification and monitoring needs
- Understand how this solution functions as a foundational starter set for value-based care success, enabling clients to leverage all their data and other relevant population health tools
ACSG DIRECT TO EMPLOYER WHITE PAPER MARCH 15jackell
This document describes a population health management system that medical providers can access to manage healthcare for self-insured employers. It allows providers to take control of healthcare delivery and costs in their community. The system has been in place for over 12 years and has successfully reduced healthcare trends and costs for over 1 million members. It provides tools for providers to identify high-risk patients, implement treatment regimens, monitor compliance, and share in savings through gainsharing arrangements with employers. Medical providers who implement this turn-key system can diversify their payer mix and increase revenues.
ACSG DIRECT TO EMPLOYER WHITE PAPER MARCH 15jackell
