Rules based Staffing and Scheduling

Think of Staffing Angel as using an ATM to conduct banking transactions. Through a computer system, ATMs enable self service and automation for people to make a variety of transactions, from many sites, and at any time, day or night. Similarly, with Staffing Angel, optimal utilization of full time and PRN employees is achieved by providing access to scheduling information and available openings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Like an ATM, management utilizes a rules based profile for each nurse that allows access to specified scheduling information.

Licensure and Credential Messaging

Staffing Angel proactively messages employees on impending expiring credentials and licensure through its automated messaging system. These automated messages can include information about credentials, required training, as well as messages from management such as time off request approvals, scheduling changes, and responses to specific scheduling requests.

Employee Calendar

The current month's calendar displays upon log in by the employee. A simple top menu driven bar provides functional tabs for that display work Schedules, Message history, Profile, Training Classes offered, and Time off requests. The current month's calendar displays the employees confirmed shifts and locations. Additionally, any requested training classes and events such as staff meetings are displayed.

Employee Scheduling

Staffing Angel provides management with a simple method for automatically generating schedules for employees on set or track schedules and provides employee generated self schedule. In the example, below the employee works a set schedule every weekend that is pre-booked by management.

In addition to the set schedule, this employee self schedules an additional shift per week based on available qualified positions. To fulfill her additional weekly shift requirement through self scheduling, the employee clicks Search on interested days to view available qualified openings. The employee may to choose to Accept or Search on other days.

Overtime Shifts and High Priority Shifts

Staffing Angel monitors a nurse's self scheduling requests for shifts that results in an overtime situation. These shifts are placed in Pending status requiring management approval.

Management may also designate critical needs as Hot Shifts meaning these shifts are pre-approved for overtime. Because these critical shifts are pre-approved for overtime, it will automatically confirm without a pending approval.
