Fargo, ND, United States, 11/30/2009 – Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. (ABS) announced today that Kaiser Permanente, one of the nation’s leading healthcare providers, has chosen ScheduleAnywhere to schedule one of its regional network of nurses and medical staff. Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Medical Center will use ScheduleAnywhere to manage the day-to-day work schedules of physicians, nurses, and staff, plus gain real-time visibility of schedules and staffing needs for their facilities throughout the Santa Rosa, CA area.
Scheduling Nurses Online
ScheduleAnywhere provides Kaiser Santa Rosa with the tools necessary to ensure proper schedule coverage for its nurses and other medical staff, while tracking their time off, availability, and skills and certifications. Managers, along with the Santa Rosa staffing office, can determine staffing requirements, instantly see coverage gaps, identify available employees, and fill these gaps proactively and better control overtime costs. ScheduleAnywhere also automatically handles shift rotations, which reduces the amount of time nurse managers spend scheduling.
“Atlas Business Solutions is proud to be working with Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa to offer a scalable, facility-wide, web-based scheduling solution that meets their staffing needs,” said Jon Forknell, ABS vice president and general manager. “Saving time and money has always been paramount in healthcare, but even more so now with the current state of the industry. ScheduleAnywhere will help Kaiser Santa Rosa better serve its 113,000 members by reducing unnecessary overtime and streamlining the scheduling of its approximately 1,500 employees.”
Day-to-Day Staffing Requirements
ScheduleAnywhere provides Kaiser Santa Rosa with a centralized system for real -time visibility of work schedules across its many facilities. Kaiser Santa Rosa utilizes ScheduleAnywhere for skills and certification tracking to instantly identify available employees to meet specific staffing requirements.
“ScheduleAnywhere is the right solution for us. With multiple schedules and facilities, the staffing office is able to access all schedules and determine our staffing needs,” said Heather Clemons, Kaiser Santa Rosa Staffing Office. “Knowing staff requirements helps us fill any coverage gaps ahead of time, which helps control our overtime costs. ScheduleAnywhere is very easy to use, and helps us quickly view staff availability, due to sickness or vacation, and shift coverage. ScheduleAnywhere has dramatically reduced the amount of time it takes our managers to create and maintain schedules.
