Nurse Staffing Model

Accurately budgeting nursing staff costs is essential in ensuring healthcare facilities maintain both financial stability and a high standard of patient care. By planning this major operating expense from the bottom-up, clinics and hospitals can anticipate and forecast staffing needs with greater accuracy across departments, allowing for timely adjustments that support budget adherence throughout the year.

Detailed planning at the individual nurse level ensures every functional area at your healthcare facility—whether inpatient units or outpatient clinics—are staffed to align with specific patient care demands and admission volumes. Because both inpatient admissions and outpatient treatment schedules directly impact nursing needs, Prophix One FP&A Plus can integrate all aspects of healthcare planning, thereby ensuring nurse staffing aligns seamlessly with patient care activities and revenue goals.

Create comprehensive nurse staffing plans from the ground up by leveraging built-in calculations for salaries, shift differentials, overtime, and additional payroll factors. Harnessing nurse-specific attributes, such as certifications or experience, enables you to drive more accurate cost allocations that connect directly to inpatient and outpatient revenue streams.

FP&A Plus promotes collaborative, cross-departmental planning that enables you to find the ideal mix of registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and other key roles. This collaboration supports inpatient revenue objectives by aligning staff to patient volumes and care intensity, while also enabling efficient outpatient revenue capture through targeted, data-driven staffing. Integrating insights from clinical, financial, and administrative teams minimizes unplanned costs and ensures input from those closest to operations, enabling you to maintain high-quality care and align your staffing approach with revenue and operational goals.
