Use Cases

Description:

Enterprise system consolidation post merger and acquisition:

As health systems consolidate enterprise systems for their EHR, HRIS, Service Management, Supply Chain, and Financial systems, they typically require a significant amount of supplemental staffing of specialized consultants to assist with the system consolidation effrots and supporting the legacy systems. Traditionally, IT leadership would partner with a staffing or consulting firm to build and manage a team to support these types of large projects, which carry budgets in the range of the tens of millions of dollars. By leveraging Abra to build a project team, IT leaders are able to shave their budgets for this type of an effort by 30%.

Pediatric use cases:

Same application as non-pediatrics.

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.
