Improving Workforce Productivity through Visibility and Analytics

 

Presented by OpenConnect 

Health plans are challenged by Federal MLR requirements to lower administrative costs. The largest controllable costs are the Plans’ cost of labor.  How can a health plan better measure the true productivity of their labor force, gain visibility into the productive and non-productive time spent, and drive down administrative costs?

As management consultant Peter Drucker once said: “If you can't measure it, you can't manage it.” The biggest challenge health plans face with their administrative staff is understanding and measuring what they are doing on the computer all day. Customer Service and Administrative personnel spend most of their time working across numerous different applications, knowledge-bases and external websites as part of their core daily activities.  Tracking time and activity in each of these various applications is critical to creating best practices, setting compliance and productivity standards, and improving performance. 

Gaining visibility into the true productivity of your resources is possible.  The Improving Workforce Productivity through Visibility and Analytics webinar will show you a tool that provides visibility into employee events and activities, their work processes and application flow, and provides the metrics necessary to improve productivity and lower administrative costs. Attendees will learn how this innovative tool provides easy to use reports showing employee’s time spent per process and activity, time spent in each application, top and bottom performers, process efficiency and true employee productivity.  Once you have the ability to measure, improving productivity is straight forward and easy to define.
