Help us replace our guesses
36 questions, seven short sections. It saves as you go.
The numbers
These turn our estimates into arithmetic.
A best estimate is fine.
This matters a lot — if half your admissions are light, the annual saving roughly halves.
Including on-costs. A range is fine — we cannot produce a dollar figure without this.
If you are paying agency rates, recovered hours are worth considerably more than base rate.
Where the six hours goes
We have guessed four and a half hours of forms plus ninety minutes of coordination. How wrong is that?
We have not counted this at all — it may be a cost we have missed.
Before the resident arrives
If you already collect a lot before arrival, the opportunity is smaller than we think.
Systems and double handling
We want to find exactly where the same thing gets typed in twice.
This single answer decides whether the re-keying saving is real or capped.
The rest of the documents
E5 points at eight documents we have not seen. Our estimate stays conservative until we do.
Risk, quality and what the time is worth
What the time is used for decides whether this is a cost case or a quality case.
The most important question on this form. It decides what the business case argues.
Making a decision
Who it is addressed to, and what could get in the way.
Worth asking one of them rather than answering on their behalf.
That is everything we need
