Complete a cost-benefit analysis to determine the best course of action in a scenario for a staffing shortage.
You are going to look at decision making in health care and explore the cost-benefit analysis of making certain decisions. You will explore the concept of opportunity costs and the consequences of our decisions by identifying what we must sacrifice to choose alternate options. You will examine potential long-term solutions to address staffing shortages and consider how local labor markets and other market factors influence staffing and budgeting. You will weigh all of those variables against the needs of our organization and our patients working in a real-life exercise indicative of problems faced by every health care leader currently working in health care.
assume you are the executive director for a for-profit home care agency, and you are experiencing a shortage of staff in nursing. You are having to turn away clients because you are not able to provide staff to make the visits. Your task is to complete the cost-benefit analysis to determine what your best course of action is. You are currently short of four full-time nurse positions to meet your current client load. Each full-time nurse position equates to 20 clients per week, with one hour for a visit and one hour for travel and documentation time for each client. This means you will need to reduce by 80 clients per week or add staff. Your current client load for the agency is 160 clients. You have two management nurses that process intakes, manage quality, ensure compliance, and perform audits for pending federal surveys. They are salaried and do not see clients in the home currently.
