PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS
"The Sullivan Lakier Group not only knows how to identify the problems,
but more importantly how to drive the implementation process to achieve results. These results were achieved with the endorsement of staff and physicians. By focusing on underlying issues they have enabled us to move past crisis management and implement lasting changes."

The Sullivan Lakier Group brings unparalleled experience in the productivity arena. Tight control of your labor resources is critical to the financial success of any health care organization. Our approach is simple and pragmatic. Working hand-in-hand with your managers and administrative team, we:
- Complete a thorough analysis of each department's operations
- Benchmark each department against high performing peers
- Develop realistic conservative and aggressive labor targets for all areas
- Write an action plan to achieve the targets
- Develop detailed shift by shift staffing plans for the nursing areas
- Install daily and biweekly productivity reports to establish baselines and monitor progress toward goals
- Assist administration and management with implementation
We involve staff, management, and administration each step of the way to ensure buy-in throughout the organization. We don't simply identify where the staffing savings are, we work with your team to achieve those savings.
This process achieves results. Typically these programs show a reduced total labor cost between 5 and 15 percent and a return on investment of $10-$20 for every dollar spent.
We also provide complete Operational & Clinical Improvement Programs.
