PRODUCT REVIEW OF Web-based Nurse Auction and Nurse Bid by Stay Staffed
"Stay Staffed web-based software solutions are the most cost effective and efficient means to streamline nurse staffing. In lieu of push pins and sticky notes, healthcare management now communicates with staff through an online, interactive platform." stated RN Staffing Manager and Internal Staffing Management (ISM) client.
“Bidding features have proven to build employee retention through buy-in, and minimize the actual expense of per diem staffing,” said this Staffing Manager for the hospital. “The platform’s administrative Time Control Management feature significantly reduces overtime payroll costs and enhances budget performance.”
This hospital utilizes SmartShift web-based software to more efficiently manage nurse staffing and reduce agency costs. The ISM Internet platform enables employees to self-schedule 24/7 and healthcare management to more effectively plan for census fluctuations. SmartShift also tracks documentation and analysis in real time format.
“The program allows me to be a forecaster. To know when I will need employees and to let employees pick up shifts instead of putting out fires last minute.”

Employees at the hospital love viewing shift availability via home or cell phone Internet and can sign up for bonus shifts far in advance.
“It gives staff ownership when scheduling extra shifts and is an easy, non-invasive way to communicate,” said the ISM Human Resource Manager client. “We were at the point where we wanted to find a way to maximize internal resources while saving money.”
