Staffing Science is a leading provider of software that helps NHS organisations achieve effective and efficient service delivery, improve productivity and reduce avoidable expenditure.
Staffing Science’s Align platform is a suite of modules to help service leads and management align service delivery and consultant activity more closely to demand and identify early any discrepancies between service plans, job plans and service delivery to minimise the need for expensive unnecessary additional capacity.
Align brings together service planning, job planning, activity data and service delivery analysis to help NHS service leads better match service delivery to demand, improving departmental performance and reducing the cost of healthcare delivery.
Align’s Service Planner modules provide powerful but easy to use modelling tools to calculate the PAs of job plan activities needed to deliver the appropriate patient outcomes, waiting lists or level of missed interventions.
Critically the modules are linked with your job planning systems so that the outcomes of service planning are in the same language as job planning to maximise the link between service planning and job planning.
Align’s Service Planner is designed to help service leads plan the optimum utilisation of healthcare resources
within a department, reducing operational costs and improving patient access. Click for more information.
Align’s Job Plan Match module compares actual to expected hours of activity providing service leads with detailed information on departmental performance.
Using Job Plan Match, service leads can identify any mismatch between expected hours of work and service delivery in real-time, providing detailed insight into service delivery data that can be used to affect positive change in the service delivery model, improving productivity and reducing cost.

Align is delivered as a fully hosted service to NHS organisations, providing NHS executives, service leads and department heads and healthcare professionals with planning and monitoring information that is
relevant to their needs.What the NHS is saying:
"The Job Plan Match information helps us continuously assess how well our reporting activity is matched to our job plans. This has helped us identify operational improvements and means our reporting is more closely aligned to our job plans. It also means we are better able to rationalise any additional sources of capacity that we use."
