CareStaff is a Web Based Healthcare Scheduling and Staff management tool. Back to Top Who is the target audience? CareStaff can benefit any healthcare organization with large numbers of hourly or shift based staff. This can include; Doctors Nurses Environmental Staff Administrative Staff Registry Staff Temporary Staff Consultants Back to Top Where are my staff? You may have systems today that tell you how many staff you need and when you need them in a perfect world. What they don’t tell you is how do you deal with real life. When life happens (sick, tardy, increase in patient count, vacation, overtime, shift trades, time off availability, etc.) how can you react efficiently and cost effectively? Back to Top Do I have the right amount of staff to deliver the correct care? Some systems will tell you how many people to have on a shift. Other systems will let you set up ways for people to bid for their shifts. How are you able to blend these pieces of information along with supporting day of operation needs? As employees make requests for schedule modifications, valuable time is consumed by those who need to process the requests, as well as delay in actioning the requests which may result in over or understaffing - both of which have strong negative consequensces. Back to Top Is my staff rentention where it needs to be? Staff retention is a major issue at most facilities, especially with the skilled staff shortages the industry is facing. Empowering the employee within the boundaries of policies and process as defined by the facility or team is a hallmark of the CareStaff solution. Employees embrace the ability to self schedule, and because of that, their satisfaction increases dramatically which has a direct effect on retention. Back to Top Are we performing at our most cost efficient levels? Overstaffing and understaffing are both expensive. Day of operation staff challenges need not be. A staff schedule is never a static thing. From vacation scheduling to coping with sick and tardy absences, the staff scedule is a variable in each shift or day. Valuable staff members, whose skills can, and in many cases should, be used more productively spend significant percentages of their time working on today's and tomorrow's schedule. CareStaff Solutions are focused on staffing from the bid or schedule selection processs all the way through to the day of operation. CareStaff Solutions save our customers millions of dollars every year in right staffing with the right skills at the right time. Back to Top What are some of the key benefits to implementation of CareStaff? CareStaff delivers measurable results — average ROI is achieved in four to seven months. Increased Productivity — reduces the amount of time spent by both employees and supervisors on schedule management. Reduced Turnover Costs — delivers increased schedule flexibility, coverage opportunities and performance management. Increased Supervisor to Employee Ratio — liberates supervisory staff time from managing so many individual employee needs and providing better tools to manage employee schedules more effectively. Improved Attendance — allows for better management of the direct and indirect costs of short term absence (which can be an astounding 21% of your entire payroll!) Improved Employee Satisfaction — provides employees with a greater sense of control over their schedule. Back to Top How is this different from my current Human Resources, Timekeeping or even Shift Bidding Software? CareStaff works hand in hand with existing Human Resources systems like PeopleSoft or SAP, with timekeeping systems like Kronos, and much more. CareStaff is also a much more complete solution than a simple shift bidding application that is focused solely on the idea of filling schedules. CareStaff provides a complete employee focused solution that will allow staff to manage their schedule, bid on additional shifts, manage their time off, track their certifications, swap shifts, respond to surveys, and much more. Back to Top How much does CareStaff cost? CareStaff is provided as an ASP (Application Service Provider) solution allowing our clients to avoid the costs of purchasing hardware, software, support staff, and maintenance of all through the life of the application. The cost for CareStaff is based on number of users and requires an initial license fee and a monthly service fee per active user. Back to Top What if my staff does not have access to the internet at home? CareStaff has a voice application that can allow staff to call in, listen to their schedule or report themselves absent or tardy and the transaction will be handled exactly the same as the online process. CareStaff also has an outbound dialer solution that can fill open shifts in any order your business desires. Many CareStaff customers also set up kiosks in the employee breakrooms or other locations where employees can have an opportunity to self manage their schedule within the CareStaff customer facility. Back to Top How long does it take to get CareStaff implemented? The implementation process is simple and the timeline is driven by your business needs. We can have your staff up and running in as little as a few weeks. Back to Top Copyright 2008 © CareStaff Solutions, LLC. All rights reserved.
