SmartShift^® Web-based Automation Case Study #4

Staffing Management Challenge

The challenge was two fold, the first challenge was to provide sufficient nursing staffing resources for the hospital system that was facing significant staffing shortages. These shortages were attributed to:

• Position Vacancies
• Medical leaves and Intermittent Family Medical Leaves
• Orientation of new staff
• Daily call-ins for Missed Shifts
• Fluctuating patient census & acuity
• Average age of workforce 46 years

The second challenge was to improve employee morale.  The staff acknowledged an on-going dissatisfaction with the daily calls from Staffing Management to fill open shifts and work unscheduled overtime.
