SME Resource Shortfalls

1 verified sources

Definition

Small and medium enterprises struggle with OHS management and resources needed for effective IPE, leading to capacity loss for rehab providers.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: AUD 10,000-20,000 annual capacity loss per provider from SME bottlenecks
  • Frequency: Ongoing for SME-handled claims
  • Root Cause: Insufficient policies, procedures, and skilled staff in SMEs

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Vocational Rehabilitation providers in Australia 🇦🇺 lose 2-5% capacity on manual IPE processes for SME clients. Automation of plan formulation recovers this.

Nicht abgerechnete Leistungen bei AT‑Assessments und Beschaffung

Quantified (logic-based): For a medium provider performing ~1,000 AT assessment/procurement episodes per year, if 5–10% of episodes involve 1–2 hours of assessment/procurement time that cannot be billed or is rejected (1.5 hours average at AUD 180/hour clinical rate), this equals 75–150 hours/year or AUD 13,500–27,000 in direct unbilled labour. Adding 1–2 large equipment orders per month written off due to funding ineligibility or missed prior approval (24 per year at average margin AUD 1,500) adds ~AUD 36,000/year. Total indicative revenue leakage: ~AUD 50,000–60,000 per site, or AUD 100,000–300,000 for multi‑site providers.

Überhöhte Beschaffungskosten und Lagerbestände bei Hilfsmitteln

Quantified (logic-based): For low‑cost AT (under AUD 1,500 per item) across a vocational rehab provider’s caseload, assume 1,000 items purchased annually at an average cost of AUD 500 each (AUD 500,000 total). If 10–20% of items are later found unsuitable, cannot be reused, or sit idle due to lack of loan/refurbish systems, this equates to AUD 50,000–100,000 in direct product wastage. Add 300–500 hours of clinician and admin time per year spent on repeated supplier quotes, ad‑hoc orders and stock management at blended AUD 80/hour (AUD 24,000–40,000). Combined cost overrun: approximately AUD 75,000–140,000 per medium provider, and AUD 150,000–500,000 for larger multi‑site operations.

Kundenabwanderung durch langsame und uneinheitliche Versorgung mit Hilfsmitteln

Quantified (logic-based): Assume a mid‑size vocational rehabilitation provider relies on AT‑related rehab contracts averaging AUD 2,000 in revenue per client (assessments plus follow‑up). If slow AT turnaround causes 2–4 referring employers or insurers per quarter to divert 5–10 cases each to alternative providers, that is 40–160 lost cases per year. At AUD 2,000 per case, this equals AUD 80,000–320,000 in annual lost revenue. This is in addition to any contractual penalties or reduced preferred‑provider status that may further reduce referral volume over time.
