Understanding Therapy Pathways, Waiting Lists and Workforce Capacity
Community therapy services face sustained demand, increasing waiting lists and pressure to meet access targets. However, organisations often lack visibility of how referrals convert into activity, how patients move through pathways, and how workforce capacity aligns to demand.
Waiting lists continue to grow, but the underlying drivers - referral patterns, treatment duration, workforce allocation and pathway variation - are not always clearly understood. Benson integrates referral, activity and workforce data into a connected operational model of therapy service delivery.
The result is a clearer understanding of flow, backlog, treatment duration and workforce capacity across therapy services.
