Locating the right individual with the right credentials who is available to work the shift requested in the time frame required is a time consuming challenge for those responsible for filling shifts. Implementing staff self scheduling is the logical approach for healthcare organizations to reduce the administrative and regulatory burdens of managing their staff and registry in an HR sensitive and fiscally sound manner. With increasing overhead and reimbursement challenges, it is quite costly for skilled healthcare professionals to manually handle routine and automatable items such as schedules, schedule exceptions, staff coverage, shift selection, registry requests, certification, accreditation, timesheets, and payroll. While automation is the key, not all systems are equivalent. Successful healthcare organizations must be diligent in ensuring they choose solutions that actually eliminate manual processes, and share data between key internal systems. Moving from the awkward and costly process of yesteryear to the streamlined and efficient CareStaff is what many customers have found to be a key component of meeting their financial goals. The Problem Healthcare Organizations are faced with staffing challenges that impact their ability to effectively care for their patients every minute of every day.

Charge Nurses Since Charge Nurses are typically responsible for an entire ward, the challenges presented in the staff and schedule management arena are even more pronounced.

This means that instead of focusing on healthcare issues, Charge Nurses are focused on Staff and Schedule Management. CareStaff Solutions provides solutions to Charge Nurses allowing them to concentrate on the more important issues of the business.

CareStaff Solutions can assist in ensuring that the business is meeting minimum staff coverage needs by location, department, shift or position.
