Why Online Scheduling and Staffing?
Online scheduling and staffing applications can significantly help healthcare organizations
overcome the scheduling and staffing challenges they currently encounter.
Few health care organizations take advantage of online functions available to them today.
Once staff begin using such tools, other departments often demand them and admit they
would never go back to their old method of operation.

Challenges
Three main factors have negatively affected healthcare scheduling and staffing:
- Current Nurse Shortage
- Staff's lack of control over their own schedules
- General complexity of staffing and scheduling
Studies show that improper staffing can contribute to poor patient outcomes. Also, the Joint Commissions on Accreditation of Healthcare ( JCAHO ) are increasing the requirements for accreditation. The JCAHO requires that every accredited healthcare organization have a defined process for determining scheduling needs and a system in place to track available personnel regardless of employee type.
