FAQ'S

Our Math is Complex - Our Service is Easy

How do You Accomodate All the Moving Parts?
No single metric, such as 'labor hours per dose', will ever be able to provide a reliably consistent indicator of efficiency. That's a documented fact. There are thousands of interacting items in a pharmacy. We've spent years developing sophisticated formulas that include hundreds of activities. AccuStaff-Rx also incorporates clinical pharmacy services, hours of operation, some common hospital data, and much more. Click the picture to get more information.

Why Are your Calculations so Accurate?
We focus only on the labor required to accomplish your inpatient care activities. This allows us to give the most accurate calculations in the industry. By excluding certain things, we don't dilute the results. AccuStaff-Rx is a 'boots on the ground' tool that allows you to build the most effective team possible. We don't suggest how many hours you should have, we calculate how many it actually takes. Click the picture to get more information

How do you Track all the Variables?
AccuStaff-Rx uses a unique proprietary approach that accommodates hundreds of variables without asking your staff to input all of them. After your custom site profile is built, a short bi-weekly pharmacy report is all we need in order to measure labor to workload. Then AccuStaff-Rx goes to work. We combine computer processing power with human judgment to return an easy to read summary that you can use to validate or plan your activities. Click the picture to get more information.

Do you Calculate Productivity Percentages?
We calculate actual workload and labor to cover without regard to productivity targets or 'percent productive'. In other words, we calculate the actual need, not the distance from a target. You decide what to do with any difference, such as improving services or redeployment of talent to other value added activities. That helps you best utilize your staff.

How Much Does it Cost?
A lot less than a 'consultant'. By using virtual methods, we are able to operate at a much lower cost. After a one-time fee for building each custom site profile, there is a small monthly charge that includes everything. There are no extra charges if we update our methodology or upgrade our processes. Thanks to economies of scale , the monthly fee is typically "less than a part time pharmacy technician". There is no contract, only a simple service agreement. Use the service for as long as you need accurate information. Click the picture to get more information.

What about Confidentiality?
Because our methodology offers a major competitive advantage to our clients, we do not disclose who is using our service. Even though no PHI is part of our service, we still protect your data as if it were our own. We use end to end encryption for transmission of data. While we do accept raw information via email, we store nothing that is identifiable on-line or on other servers (the cloud). The information you send is stored only temporarily locally or in hard copy until we provide your results. We periodically purge those records, as well. Click the picture to get more information.
