Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

None provided

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Kevala is the only staff scheduling solution that includes float pool management, open shift automation, and an integrated VMS (with ready-to-work agencies already in the marketplace). Kevala is so easy to use, most healthcare systems get up and running with all of this in just 2 weeks.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Fully interoperable with any nurse scheduling system

Enables health system to create their own internal agency

Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • ShiftMed uses a W2 workforce instead of a 1099 workforce, which means that the healthcare professionals who work with ShiftMed are considered employees, rather than independent contractors. By using a W2 workforce, ShiftMed is able to provide a higher level of support and stability for its healthcare professionals, and assumes the risk for its health system partners.

  • ShiftMed integrates with UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group), a workforce management and human capital management software, to provide a seamless experience for healthcare facilities and professionals. The integration allows healthcare facilities using UKG to access ShiftMed's platform and book qualified healthcare professionals directly from within the UKG platform. This helps to simplify the staffing process for healthcare facilities, enabling them to manage their workforce more efficiently and effectively.

  • ShiftMed has partnered with Uber Health to provide reliable and efficient transportation for healthcare professionals using the ShiftMed platform. Uber Health is a HIPAA-compliant transportation solution that enables healthcare providers to order rides for their patients and employees. Through the partnership, ShiftMed healthcare professionals can use Uber Health to get to and from their shifts at healthcare facilities, ensuring that they arrive on time and are able to provide high-quality care to their patients.
