To recap the previous blog post:
Setting up realistic targets, tasks, and timeframes for your hospital’s rehab department is vital to achieving your definition of success. As the Rehabilitation Department works to achieve the goals and standards, HRS will be able to load all baseline data into our software platform Insight to manage and ensure a seamless process.
Putting it all together and getting the work done
Now that you’ve established the realistic goals and deadlines for your hospital’s rehab department, it’s time to put it all together and get the work done. The work needed to optimize your department’s clinical operations and move the team forward includes:
- Setting up a consistent process to collect and monitor your KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).
- Establishing a timeframe to measure your performance (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually).
- Comparing your KPIs and performance to your established goals and targets. Update the targets if needed.
- Being relentless and focusing on the 4 Pillars of Success and how the KPIs impact them:
- Successful Patient Outcomes
- Rehab Staff Experience
- Financial Success
- Client Satisfaction
As you are doing the work, having a tool or platform to manage all of this will be extremely helpful to keep you moving forward.
That’s where HRS steps in. We can enter all your baseline data into our software platform Insight to monitor those metrics and determine if your department is moving in the right direction.
Insight has 5 key components:
- Therapy KPIs
- Financial Analysis
- Quality and Compliance
- Rehab Department Targets
- Client Satisfaction
These tools capture and comprehend your rehab department’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to better manage your resources, improve efficiencies, and deliver quality care. The reporting on Insight can be used to measure those key metrics and evaluate how your department is improving over time in each specific area. Through this, we can help your rehab department move towards best-in-class standards.
This is done in real time, so there’s no need to wait around to determine if your rehab department is progressing towards your targets. Insight provides real-time tracking and accountability for all your strategic goals.
