Why It Matters
The best hospitals in America strategically invest in the continuing education and professional development of their employees – with an average of $10 million spent annually—yet they overspend by $1 million yearly due to loose controls, decentralization, and a lack of expert oversight.
Training, policies covering education, and access to information in hospitals historically have been largely decentralized across different facilities, departments, and individual employees. When employees act in siloes following different processes to meet their unique continuing education requirements, it leaves little to no opportunity for collaborative sourcing strategies, cost centers pay more than they should for learning tools and information resources, and employees waste too much time tracking them down or not knowing what resources may already available to them. What’s more, much of the accounting for this type of fragmented spending gets incorrectly coded or lands in general “buckets” of spend, leaving leaders without transparent accurate data to track usage and properly forecast and budget for these costs.
The result? Excessive overspending, pricing discrepancies, messy accounting records, missed negotiation opportunities, duplicate purchases, low utilization of expensive education resources, loss of productivity, lack of expertise driving centralized decisions, and inability to track the ROI of strategic education initiatives.
Neglecting your education spend category not only is leading to preventable overspending and waste, it is also putting critical accreditation requirements at risk and adding obstacles to optimizing patient care through evidence-based practice and standardized training of procedural guidelines.
Delivering better patient care starts with strategic management of employee education.
HPC’s Healthcare Education Management System will leverage the hidden capital in your education spend category. Through our revolutionary platform, MeridianIQ™ provides control, automation, and data intelligence with a partner who will ensure you’re optimizing every $1 you spend on education and information resources.
