Ststemic workforce shortages combined with increased demand for healthcare services can lead to significant capacity limitations. Organizations can improve profitability through informed strategic and front-line labor management. For example, a typical 300-bed hospital could potentially save $5.3 million annually by moving from the median of labor-cost-per-discharge performers to the top quartile. These cost savings can be reinvested in labor resources--the salaries, benefits, and retention activities essential for long-term success.
系统性劳动力短缺加上对医疗服务需求的增加，可能导致严重的能力限制。组织可以通过明智的战略和一线劳动力管理来提高盈利能力。例如，一家典型的拥有300张床位的医院，从每出院人次劳动力成本的中位数提升至前四分之一水平，每年可能节省530万美元。这些成本节省可重新投资于劳动力资源——对于长期成功至关重要的薪资、福利和留用活动。
