Description

Product Description:

FLO, Medecipher’s flagship platform, is a cloud-based solution that supports nurse staffing decisions and incorporates each hospital’s unique constraints: position control, budget, nursing preference, and ease-of-use. Flo is proven to reduce staff churn, improve operations, maintain safer staffing levels, and improve staff and provider satisfaction.

About Medecipher:

Medecipher developed FLO, a predictive staffing decision support platform for nurse managers. It utilizes AI (Artificial Intelligence) and operations research to intelligently sequence shifts that meet the individual needs of patients and nurses while complying with organizational rules. 

In an environment of increased patient acuity, longer lengths of stay, and decreased clinical staff availability, many healthcare organizations are severely challenged to identify the nursing workload required for each patient and patient care unit. So, allocating and assigning optimal nursing resources also becomes increasingly difficult. At Medecipher, we are applying technology in new and innovative ways to assist nurse leaders with the decision support needed to take command of their nursing resources and design, evaluate, and implement customized and flexible staffing models that can adapt to their ever-changing department's workload needs, and deploy nursing resources optimally and safely.

Use Cases

Description:

Our solution addresses the #1 issue facing healthcare leaders today, nurse staffing, by introducing sophisticated operations research methods that intelligently sequence shifts to align the hospital's existing personnel with patient demand. The resulting care models and schedules decrease the hospital’s reliance on outside staffing sources while prioritizing preferences, avoiding unpredictable schedules, reducing burnout, and increasing satisfaction.

Description:

ELECTRONIC SELF-SCHEDULING

Self-scheduling through ShiftWizard is a flexible system designed to reduce the scheduling burden on managers, and to improve the job satisfaction of employees who want more control and transparency into their schedules.

Self-scheduling allows managers and administrators to publish scheduling templates that ensure that the right nurses with the right certifications are scheduled at any given time. Then, staff are empowered to take control of their own schedule within your established framework.

OPEN SHIFT MANAGEMENT

Open shift management reverses the scheduling nightmare for managers when shifts open up unexpectedly. No more nights of feverish texting and calling to ensure you have the proper staff to deliver the needed levels of patient care.

ShiftWizard’s unique and powerful open shift management engine works with all shift types, including highly irregular schedules, such as what is typically seen within an ER. Our system only displays shifts that are relevant based on availability, skillset, and certification.

REAL-TIME PRODUCTIVITY

WHPUOS measures, including the popular HPPD and HPPV, are useful daily analytics to ensure your staff management is having the expected effect on the bottom line. All too often, these numbers are only reviewed periodically.

Integration of your EMR, HR, and Time Keeper systems allow for historical, real-time, and projected productivity calculation per your departments needs. Easy access to data enables leaders to make more cost-effective decisions.

WORKFORCE OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE

ShiftWizard can inform leaders at the department, hospital, and system level, so that enterprise organizations have the level of transparency and access to real-time data needed to staff effectively and efficiently.

Integration of your EMR, HR, and Time Keeper systems allow for historical, real-time, and projected productivity calculation per your departments needs. Easy access to data enables leaders to make more cost-effective decisions.
