Setting: ASPIRE LLC - ABA Therapy Stakeholders: Dr. Laura Estep: Clinical Supervisor Ms. Allison Gouris: Co-CEO, BCBA Ms. Kristi Swice: Co-CEO, BCBA Gaps Identified by Key Stakeholders: By allowing clients to dictate hours based on their availability pushes technicians to take hours outside of their availability, which also leads to technicians unable to achieve desired hours. Many hours needed are for after school ABA care, where they have a high need for technicians for 3:30-8:00 pm and the weekends. These times are difficult to staff, as many technicians want earlier hours and/or weekends off so having these hours open may leave us asking technicians to work outside of availability or have limited hours to accommodate for the times they are available to work. We have discussed having blocked schedules clients choose from, such as having a 3:30-6:30 or 4:30-7:30 gap, however, this limits client choice and may prevent possible sessions, which would employ techs. Blocked scheduling seemed to be a recurring theme and could be beneficial for employees so that they may see their schedule and have time for paperwork, supervision, insurance, and even direct therapy, as these will be listed in their schedules. Goal: Create a balance of schedules that employees and clients are comfortable with, where employees are within their availability and are able support themselves financially/are not worried about their next paycheck if they are based on hourly wages rather than salary.

Annals of operations research, 1–28. Advance online publication. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10479-023-05244-2 Appraisal of Work-Life Balance Scheduling: The text adequately describes the problem of work-life balance in healthcare settings, emphasizing the need for efficient scheduling to improve job satisfaction and reduce burnout among healthcare staff. The text mentions existing literature on work-life balance issues but does not explicitly discuss the use of a specific theory of change. The focus is on introducing a new software tool and scheduling methods. The text does not provide information about a QI team. It primarily focuses on the methodology and software tool developed for scheduling. The article does not detail specific methods used for root cause analysis. While the text mentions scheduling methods and a software tool, it does not explicitly state the use of a recognized QI model like Lean or PDSA. The primary intervention discussed is the implementation of the WLB-Tool and scheduling methods. The description of interventions could be more detailed. The article does
