Productivity Improvement

Most community services have the workforce they need - but not always the visibility to understand how that workforce is being used.

Benson Health provides a structured, data-driven view of productivity across teams, roles, and services, helping providers identify variation, inefficiency, and opportunities for improvement.


What we analyse

  • Clinical time vs non-clinical time across roles
  • Caseload size, visit volumes, and activity patterns
  • Variation in productivity between teams and services
  • Use of junior vs senior staff (skill mix)
  • Travel time, remote working, and allocation of visits

Key outputs

  • 15+ standardised productivity metrics across all teams
  • Benchmarking against internal teams and external providers
  • Identification of capacity gaps and inefficiencies
  • Clear opportunities to increase productivity without increasing headcount

What this enables

Improving productivity is not about working harder - it’s about working differently.

  • Increase clinical capacity within existing workforce
  • Reduce variation and improve consistency across teams
  • Align work allocation with staff capability and role design
  • Support sustainable service models under increasing demand

This approach provides a clear, objective baseline for improvement and supports providers to deliver more care, more efficiently, without compromising quality.
