Unmet Need
Hospitals currently use a variety of human capital management programs to (1) benchmark the performance of their workforce and (2) ensure compliance with ever-changing policies. Each of these programs typically analyze a specific facet of human capital management – such as patient safety, human resources, or regulatory risk - but their lack of interoperability hinders the ability of the management to effectively make decisions that improve the efficiency of the organization. Therefore, there is a need to unify the numerous facets of human capital management into a single dashboard that empowers healthcare organizations to more effectively manage their workforce and, thereby, improve patient care.
Technology Overview
Inventors at Johns Hopkins have developed a human capital management interface called the “Keystone Dashboard” that unifies various parameters of (1) patient safety & quality, (2) human resources, and (3) complaints & grievances to better inform the management of any apparent workforce issues. More specifically, the invention quantifies & standardizes human capital management parameters taken from disparate data streams, integrates them into a single model, and provides users with suggested opportunities for improvements through a number of intuitive data visualizations.
