Grant-friendly pricing and community benefit documentation support
From $6M+ Agency Costs to Workforce Stability
Safety net hospitals face unprecedented premium labor costs - but documentation efficiency can reduce dependence on contract staff
"Our agency costs have been over $6 million year to date"
- CFO, Thompson Health (quoted in Becker's Hospital Review)
The Premium Labor Crisis
-
Contract/agency labor: 15-25% of total labor budget
Some hospitals spending $6M+ annually on premium staffing
-
Average RN turnover cost: $52,350 per nurse
Recruitment, training, productivity loss during onboarding
-
First-year RN turnover particularly high in safety net settings
High-stress environments with complex patient populations
-
Each 1% RN turnover = $380,600 cost impact
For 100-bed hospital with typical nursing staff ratios
How OrbDoc Reduces Premium Labor Needs
-
Reduce RN overtime by improving efficiency
Documentation time savings = fewer overtime hours needed to complete charting
-
Reduce provider burnout → better retention → fewer locums
45% reduction in documentation time = more sustainable workload
-
Enable existing staff to handle more patient volume
30% throughput increase without adding FTEs or agency staff
-
Improve new nurse onboarding and retention
Easier documentation reduces first-year turnover stress
