The holidays are notoriously difficult on medical facilities. And this holiday season should be no exception with the pandemic still lingering. As noted by Kelly Gooch of Becker's Hospital Review, there are many unprecedented challenges in healthcare staffing that have made it more and more difficult to provide the care that patients need. Here are a few of the key challenges as noted in that article:
The staffing shortages coupled with increased demand have put many healthcare facilities in dire straits. In good news, BlueSky Medical Staffing Software just released version 5.19 of their software which addresses the root of many of these challenges.
BlueSky has been empowering the healthcare and hospital staffing industry for over twenty years by solving expensive operational problems in business and organizations, and this latest release marks the first time a single platform technology can provide hospitals with complete control over their subcontractor relationships.
As the only healthcare-specific staffing software available on the market today, BlueSky has created an all-in-one platform that can help drive labor costs down and improve staffing efficiency at a time when the industry needs it most. In a nutshell, the latest release continues to improve on and consolidate the following critical features; and for the first time, all pioneered under their singular platform:
But how is this helping?
In a recent beta test of this software's release with the Adventist Healthcare System, BlueSky successfully brought all contract labor management in-house. The savings from the newly implemented automation has provided uniformity of nurse and agency documentation, and provided real-time reporting for spend by department and historical trend analysis. This consolidated all contingent personnel relationships across a 28-hospital system to provide centralized control and reporting with the added benefit to quickly establish their own "self-service" agency. This newfound consolidation is responsible for eliminating many outside costs while helping their staffing operations run more efficiently during even the most demanding of seasons; a first for healthcare staffing.
