Time tracking that fits Healthcare Organizations
Hours captured as work happens, mapped to the scheduling blocks, claims and documentation queues you already plan around.
Manual timesheets are reconstructions, and reconstructions lose money. Worktivity records hours automatically in the background, lets administrative staff, billing coordinators and practice managers correct them, and turns the result into timesheets, invoices and payouts data without a second round of data entry.

Why healthcare organizations need time tracking
Time is the unit healthcare organizations sell, plan and pay against, yet in most organisations it is entered from memory on a Friday afternoon. The gap between what happened and what was recorded is where margin quietly disappears.
Administrative load is the quiet cost centre of healthcare. Claims handling, prior authorisations, scheduling and documentation consume hours that are never billed to anyone, and because the work is spread across every role it is rarely measured as a whole.
Every healthcare organisation knows its clinical cost per encounter and almost none know the administrative one. Claims handling, authorisations, scheduling and documentation are absorbed as general overhead, which means a payer contract can be unprofitable purely on administrative burden without ever showing it.
Worktivity's time tracking for healthcare organizations focuses squarely on the administrative and back-office side rather than on clinical care. Hours in practice management, billing and records systems are measured so the operational cost of each administrative process becomes visible and improvable.
Tracking time against claim types, payers and documentation queues produces the missing number. The typical finding is stark: one payer's authorisation process costs several times another's for the same clinical work. That is negotiating information, and it is also the business case for the automation project that has been deferred for three years.
Worktivity closes that gap by capturing hours as they are worked, attaching them to the right project or client, and leaving a clear trail from raw activity to approved timesheet. What you bill and what you paid for finally describe the same day.
How tracked time reaches the invoice
Four steps, none of which involve a blank timesheet grid.
Hours captured, not remembered
The agent records working time in the background and separates idle stretches, so a timesheet starts from evidence instead of an empty form.
Everything mapped to work
Time attaches to the projects, clients and tasks that mirror your scheduling blocks, claims and documentation queues, which makes reporting a filter rather than a rebuild.
Approvals without chasing
Employees review and adjust, managers approve in bulk, and locked periods stop retroactive edits from reopening a closed month.
Billing and payouts in one pass
Approved hours flow into invoices and payouts exports with the breakdown clients ask for already attached.
Time tracking capabilities for Healthcare Organizations
Seven capabilities, two of them specific to how healthcare organizations work.
Administrative process costing
Attribute hours to claims processing, scheduling, prior authorisation, records requests and patient communication, so the true cost per process is known before anyone proposes automating it.
System-level usage insight
See how much of the administrative day is spent inside each system. Where staff spend hours navigating a records or billing platform, that is a training or configuration problem with a price attached.
Automatic background tracking
Start once and the desktop agent handles the rest across Windows, macOS and Linux. administrative staff, billing coordinators and practice managers do not stop work in order to record work, which is the only way tracking survives a busy month.
Project, client and task mapping
Structure time the way you already structure delivery, so hours roll up to the scheduling blocks, claims and documentation queues your reporting is built on without manual re-tagging.
Timesheets and approvals
Generated timesheets arrive pre-filled. Employees correct, managers approve, and every change is logged with who altered what and when.
Idle, break and offline handling
Idle thresholds, break rules and manual entry for offline work keep the recorded day honest, including the hours that happen away from a keyboard.
Billable rates and invoicing
Set rates by person, role or project, mark hours billable or internal, and export invoice-ready breakdowns into your accounting stack.
What accurate hours are worth to healthcare organizations
The return shows up in six places.
Recovered billable time
Teams that move from memory-based entry to captured time routinely find hours that were previously written off, simply because nobody recorded them.
Estimates that improve
Every completed piece of work becomes historical data, so the next quote rests on what the work actually cost rather than on optimism.
Faster billing cycles
Closing a period stops being a week of chasing and becomes a review of data that is already sitting there.
Fewer client disputes
Itemised, timestamped breakdowns answer “what did we pay for” before the question turns into a credit note.
Cleaner payouts
Approved hours, overtime and leave arrive in a single export, which removes the spreadsheet stage entirely.
Audit-ready records
A complete trail from captured activity to approved timesheet stands up to internal review and external audit alike.
Where healthcare organizations rely on tracked time
Five places healthcare organizations put this to work in the first quarter.
Building the business case for automation
Vendors quote savings; you need your own baseline. Measured hours per administrative process give you the before figure that makes the after figure credible.
Right-sizing the back office
Where one administrative team is stretched and another has slack, hour distribution across functions shows it plainly, usually before turnover does.
Managing remote administrative teams
Billing, coding and scheduling staff increasingly work off site. Activity and hour data provide the accountability that lets those roles stay remote.
Fixed-price work that must not overrun
Watch consumed hours against the budget on every engagement and intervene while there is still room to act.
Distributed and shift-based teams
Track across time zones, devices and locations under one set of rules, then reconcile the lot in a single view.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions healthcare organizations ask most often about time tracking.
Can we measure administrative cost per payer or per claim type?
Yes, by making the payer or claim type the project and letting hours accumulate against it. Once two or three months are in place the cost differences between payers are usually obvious, and they are frequently large enough to change which contracts an organisation chooses to renew.
Is this appropriate for clinical staff?
Worktivity is designed for administrative and back-office roles, not for clinical care delivery. Most healthcare customers deploy it to billing, coding, scheduling and administrative teams and exclude clinical workstations entirely, which the policy controls make straightforward.
How do we handle systems containing patient data?
Screenshots can be disabled entirely or per team, and specific applications can be excluded from capture. Worktivity records which application held focus, not its contents. Organisations handling regulated data typically run time and activity tracking with screenshot capture switched off.
Does time tracking require manual timers?
No. Tracking runs automatically once the agent is installed. Manual entry exists only for work that happens away from the computer: meetings, site visits, travel and calls.
Can employees correct their own hours?
Yes, and they should. Employees review and adjust their day before submitting it, managers approve, and every edit is recorded. That combination is what makes the data trustworthy rather than merely automatic.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The agent buffers activity locally and syncs when the connection returns, so travel, site work and outages do not leave gaps in the record.
Can we export to our accounting or payouts system?
Approved timesheets export as CSV or XLSX, and the API lets you push hours into your existing finance stack on a schedule.
