What is SDM20/20™?
Our core methodology, SDM20/20™, offers a complete staffing optimization and acuity solution that repositions workload in ways that make staffing predictable while lowering overall costs.
How is SDM20/20™ different?
The SDM20/20™ goal is to create operational practices that protect staffing plans and financial expectations by: stabilizing clinical operations and making care assignments sustainable; redefining staff counts and schedules; and calculating labor budgets that fully disclose the cost of care, recruitment and retention, PTO, and even contingency needs.
Acuity is not a measure of patient illness, it’s a measure of work. The workload that an RN or clinical team can manage encompasses more than a patient’s illness. SDM20/20™ is a unique methodology-based solution that sustains proper clinical workloads, eliminating the need for day to day, shift to shift adjustments in staffing. Our acuity methodology:
- supports proper clinical care assignments
- assesses infrastructure and core care teams
- determines and hard wires each unit’s non-productive demands
- defines acuity practice and workload changers
- provides analytics to monitor proper workloads and assignments
- incorporates ADT (churn factor) into proper workloads
