Evidence Supports the Positive Impact of Automated Staff-Scheduling Technology in Healthcare

Labor represents the largest controllable expense in healthcare organizations today. The balance between maintaining adequate coverage and avoiding costly overtime and agency expenses - all while trying to meet employee preferences and need - can be difficult. The Evidence Supports the Positive Impact of Automated Staff-Scheduling Technology in Healthcare white paper shows how leveraging technology in staff-scheduling in the acute care hospital setting has a positive impact on the employee and the organization. Research suggests that automation and self-service features can contribute positively to an employee's job satisfaction, resulting in less turnover and an increased ability to retain a highly skilled workforce. The evidence also suggests that the overall organization benefits from the use of staff-scheduling technology through increased operational efficiencies, support of regulatory compliance and contractual commitments, and an enhanced ability to respond to fluctuating workload volumes. The white paper provides evidence on how respondents believe scheduling technology made it easier to fill open shifts, follow scheduling policies, comply with union and regulatory requirements, and provide visibility into workload data.
