Workforce skill-mix

Re-profiling the workforce is an essential activity in any process of healthcare transformation. "If we always do what we have always done, we will always get what we have always got".

Medical Mosaic's service improvement tools provide precise information of the capacity that will be needed to operate a new pathway or process, by skill/competence/grade and Band. Summarised views can be formed, by aggregating across a definitive set of pathways or processes, that show immediately the workforce that would be required - and, also, its cost.

If the same analysis is undertaken on existing working methods, a direct comparison can be made between the current operation, and the new one.  In fact, multiple alternative models can easily be created, that are of great use in facilitated discussions with groups of staff.

Our service improvement tools are proving to be of great value to QIPP programmes, as these help to combine, into a single narrative, the reasons improvement is needed, the specific pathway improvements that are being recommended and, also, the changes to workforce and cost that would also flow from the pathway improvement.

In all, a most powerful workforce profiling tool, driven by the expert assumptions of the staff themselves, and built using empirical ie real measures of clinical and support activity.
