Paper v. Concerro

Is your hospital’s nursing management still using pen and paper or programs like
Excel to manage core scheduling, shift management, and floating assignments?
While core schedule planning happens weeks in advance, requests for changes
come in constantly and a “final schedule” is a moving target. A paper-based
system just doesn’t cut it anymore.

By utilizing an automated nurse scheduling and shift management solution like Concerro’s ShiftSelect or RES-Q, hospitals are able to bring a wealth of unrealized benefits to their management and staff nurses:

1. Ensure the right people are in the right place at the right time every hour of every day.

As patient acuity levels and population mix continually fluctuate, it is more important than ever that every shift in every unit has the staff with the right mix of skills, certifications, and experience to provide great care. Concerro solutions help you balance the workload throughout the hospital to ensure that your staff has fair and equitable assignments and your patients are receiving the proper amount of quality care.

2.Increase accountability for controlling costs while providing superb care.

With health care costs spiraling out of control, reduced revenue from Medicare, and budget cuts, everyone needs to share the responsibility for controlling costs while continuing to provide great care. Concerro solutions help hospitals reduce expensive premium labor while empowering their staff.

3. Spend more time on patient outcomes and less time on administrivia.

Managers waste time manually creating complex schedules for a schedule period in the future only to find that they need to beg staff to work unscheduled shifts or to float to other units where the need is greater. Because Concerro’s solutions offer transparency and promote collaboration, your staff nurses are able to request open shifts and will embrace self-directed floating.

4. Reduce expensive premium labor costs.

By embodying staffing and scheduling best practices, Concerro helps healthcare organizations optimize their use of full time staff and helps them make smarter choices about how to use per diem and agency resources. Concerro also helps reduce the need for overtime and incentive pay.
