MyHQ

Product suite designed to drive sustained impact for healthcare providers

Turning insights into action that optimize productivity, spend, and performance

Driving sustainable improvements across a healthcare system is a complex challenge, requiring an increasingly sophisticated approach. According to McKinsey research, roughly 70 percent of performance transformations fail across industries because managers lack the critical tools to achieve ongoing impact.

Having an accurate “single source of truth” can help hospitals balance costs, healthcare outcomes, patient and clinician experiences, and enable administrators to better manage performance against key organizational initiatives and financial targets.

MyHQ enables healthcare leaders to make data-driven decisions by providing key metrics, identifying gaps, and surfacing opportunities.

Examples of our work

Workforce HQ

Enhancing the workforce at a regional health system

A regional health system wanted to strengthen its workforce by improving retention and satisfaction, boosting productivity, reducing excess premium payments, and increasing performance transparency.

Our Workforce HQ tool provided visibility into department-level metrics and helped enable a reduction in total labor costs of roughly two percent after one year of usage.

ProdPlus

Improving productivity for a not-for-profit health system

McKinsey is working with a not-for-profit health system to evaluate labor strategies and set targets for improvement.

We have deployed our ProdPlus tool to help the health system identify five to eight percent of potential improvement in productivity while addressing burnout and improving employee satisfaction by limiting stressful understaffing situations. In addition, more than 250 clinical departments have been supported by the available staffing grid and optimized schedule outputs, and three major department categories have been developed.

Provider Practice Ops HQ

Helping reduce patient wait times and improve physician productivity

A medical group within a large academic medical center was experiencing long patient wait times and lower-than-expected physician productivity.

We utilized our Provider Practice Ops HQ tool to help the medical group identify a significant opportunity to improve patient access and physician productivity. Half of the potential impact was captured in the first 12 months.

Supplies HQ

Managing supply chain spending for an academic medical center

A large academic medical center is working with McKinsey on an enterprise-wide transformation. The team identified a need for the health system to invest in digital capabilities to help manage its supply chain spending.

With our Supplies HQ tool, the health system is actively managing its supply chain costs and proactively identifying new areas of opportunity.
