Maxwell Healthcare Associates (MHA), a leading post-acute consulting firm, and Levo, innovators in employee engagement technology, announce a strategic partnership aimed at addressing critical challenges in healthcare staffing and employee engagement. This collaboration leverages the strengths of both organizations to offer healthcare providers a comprehensive solution that promises to transform workforce management and improve care delivery.
Employee turnover remains one of the most significant challenges in the healthcare industry. On average, replacing a single clinician incurs costs between $30,000 and $40,000, with additional lost revenue totaling over $500,000 due to upsets from turnover. These stark figures outline the true operational burden stemming from disruptions in care and employee satisfaction, ultimately stifling agency success and longevity if left unaddressed.
The partnership between Maxwell Healthcare Associates and Levo introduces a proactive approach to this issue, combining advanced analytics and engagement technology to enhance staff retention and satisfaction. It’s crucial not only to understand the level of job satisfaction among staff but also to ensure concerns are appropriately addressed by branch-level leadership. Without comprehensive, timely follow-ups and actionable resolutions, clinicians are liable to leave regardless of their concerns being heard by management. Levo’s platform takes this clarity a step further with intelligent data modeling, confidently predicting at-risk employees with up to 90% accuracy. Ultimately Levo enables detailed follow-up workflows and informed recommendations to assist in bolstering satisfaction. This process-driven approach to feedback ensures that every opportunity for improvement is handled correctly before an at-risk employee reaches full burnout. The newfound partnership ensures lasting success, utilizing MHA’s industry knowledge for coaching and implementation, following up with actionable workflows from Levo to ensure the lessons are applied and cemented into agency operations.
Levo and MHA use extensive data sources, including EMR (Electronic Medical Records) and payroll data, to ensure that employees receive timely and relevant information. This data encompasses a wide range of metrics, from productivity and mileage to task completion and documentation quality, as well as significant employee milestones, such as work anniversaries or difficult situations like the passing of a patient. Through pulling from EMR systems, Levo and MHA take the burden off agencies, applying artificial intelligence and large language models to ensure the engagement process is thorough, timely, and effortless for agencies.
