Staffing productivity for hospitals & clinics

Staff to the census,
not to the calendar.

Same-day flags,
not month-end overspend.

LeanCensus compares the hours you actually worked against the hours you budgeted — per unit, per patient day — and shows you exactly where traveler and overtime spend can come out.

Built around WHPPD — the number your CFO already speaks.

No PHI — census counts and staffing data only, and no integration required.

How it works

Your staffing data flows in.

Census, schedules, and worked hours land in one place — broken out by core staff, overtime, and travelers. No new workflow for your charge nurses.

Actual meets budget, per patient day.

LeanCensus computes worked hours per patient day for every unit, every day, and holds it against your budgeted target.

Variance is flagged the day it happens.

4-West ran 0.6 hours per patient day over target. That's not a surprise buried in a month-end report — it's a flag you see today.

The expensive hours come out.

Traveler and overtime premiums stop leaking. Unit by unit, week by week, it adds up fast.

Product

One number, every unit, every day.

LeanCensus is built around a single discipline: hold worked hours per patient day against budget, and act on the gap while it's still cheap to close.

Unit-level WHPPD

Worked hours per patient day, computed daily for every unit — not a blended house-wide average that hides the problem.

Budget variance at a glance

Over or under, by how much, and what it costs — surfaced the day it happens, not at month-end close.

Traveler & overtime lens

Every hour is tagged core, overtime, or traveler — so you always know whether you're paying 1×, 1.5×, or 2.5× for the same care.

Reports that run themselves

Daily unit scorecards and weekly rollups for your leadership huddle — ready before you ask for them.

Safe staffing first

Understaffing gets flagged just as loudly as overstaffing. The goal is the budgeted target — never a race to the bottom.

Why it matters

Overtime and travelers are the most expensive hours in your building.

Most units don't overspend because leaders don't care — they overspend because the signal arrives a month late, blended into an average. LeanCensus fixes both: unit-level numbers and same-day flags.
