Romanyk Consulting Corp. has developed a patent pending Workload Allocation Modeling (WAM) process designed to align large healthcare networks or small healthcare systems with their specific goals of providing optimal healthcare access to their patients. Our WAM currently has a patent pending from the U.S. Patent Office. Utilizing our process we can clearly define workload expectations and space needs, by service line, for all facilities within a complex healthcare network or small healthcare system.
Our WAM process is a collaborative solution involving necessary planners and leadership. Our solution combines a number of detailed data analyses with the future strategic direction and vision of involved leadership. The WAM planning solution covers a 5 - 20 year planning horizon which provides valuable comprehensive strategic and capital planning. Once complete, WAM allows sites of care to maximize current and future space while best aligning their capabilities with patients needs. This alignment of capabilities to needs, and the bridge to get from here to there, is the definition of planning success and the value provided by our WAM solution.
The WAM approach is data driven which allow sites of care to make critical data based decisions and best utilize both capital and non-capital resources. Our WAM methodologies and associated steps are flexible, proven, and repeatable, both within and outside the healthcare sector. In order to complete a successful WAM effort we complete multiple steps involving data gathering, forecasting, access assessments, workload allocation, and final deliverable development.
The WAM process requires healthcare system planners as well as leadership to view their service area holistically. Patient access and space utilization is focused on and is a priority in order to enhance the patient experience. Additionally, leadership by use of our WAM solution can create hypothetical situations or “what if” sites of care or service line scenarios rapidly. This empowers planners and leadership to strategic plan, and see the impact of decisions made, utilizing multiple scenarios quickly.
The WAM process allows our clients to develop, refine, visualize, and clearly understand strategic planning initiatives, as well as direction, prior to ever breaking ground on new construction projects. Furthermore, unnecessary or avoidable remodeling, renovation, or new construction projects can be identified and removed prior to costly construction expenses being incurred. Additional value provided by WAM includes, but is not limited to, the identification of staffing gaps and needs, staff recruiting efforts, facility budget estimating, as well as opinion of probable costs. The WAM solution removes the unknown and provides great value by clearly defining workload expectations for all services, at all sites of care, over an established planning horizon. |
