Save time with one platform
Your most important asset in long-term care and healthcare facilities is your staff. But the complexity and dynamism of these workplaces, combined with staff challenges such as turnover and burnout, can make human resources difficult to manage. Workplace management software lets facilities take charge of staffing and communications from a single platform, saving time and easing work-related stress. When an all-in-one platform can be used to manage staffing and payroll, organize schedules, communicate and share information, managers and staff members alike are free to devote their professional energies toward what they do best: provide quality patient care.
Older scheduling methods still work, but they’re slow, cumbersome, and resource heavy. A scheduling platform like BookJane J360 eliminates those long hours spent on the phone trying to fill shifts. Gone are the scheduling announcements pinned to the staff bulletin board. Gone, too, are the hours spent digging through drawers and cabinets for that one photocopy of that one file. Gone are the unwieldy spreadsheets that are difficult and time-consuming to create, update, track and share.
With BookJane J360, managers simply post often shifts to the platform, which are then automatically made visible to healthcare professionals in your facility, or to care workers in the BookJane Care Network. Moving things to mobile devices allows shift fulfillment to happen instantly – anytime, anywhere. Push notifications on those same devices, through the same platform, keeps information flowing and people connected in time-saving ways. Having everything accessible through a single platform makes scheduling and communication easy, fast, and convenient.
More than 700 long-term care, senior living, healthcare and agency customers are already gaining new efficiencies with software platforms like BookJane J360. The positive experiences speak for themselves. Melissa G., of Points West Living/SE Health remembers spending “about 10 hours a week texting and making phone calls trying to get staff to pick up extra shifts.” BookJane has already reduced their admin time by 70%. “I went from someone who didn’t want the platform,” recalls Melissa, “to someone who loves it.”
Having everything in one, centralized, easy-to-access place, updated in real-time, makes it easy to plan ahead. And because new technology platforms are intuitive systems to learn and use, onboarding is straightforward. Managers and staff get trained and feel comfortable with the program very quickly. “If you know how to book a flight on Expedia,” explains Michael Li of BookJane, “you will know how to use the BookJane platform.”
New technology platforms save time in long-term care and healthcare facilities and make staffing, communication and related business operations, like payroll, more convenient and more efficient. The key is making a host of everyday work tasks possible to do inside a single software environment.
