08/04/2010 Trinity Health Uses ScheduleAnywhere to Manage Staff Schedules

Trinity Health uses ScheduleAnywhere to Manage Staff Schedules

Trinity Health uses an online employee scheduling software to stay up-to-date on their constantly changing staff schedules.

FARGO, ND – August 4, 2010 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. (ABS) announced today that Trinity Health, a North Dakota-based healthcare system, has chosen ScheduleAnywhere to create staff schedules for the 700 employees in its network of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. Trinity Health’s managers and staff benefit from ScheduleAnywhere’s real-time schedule information.

Managing Changes to Staff Schedules
Staffing coordinators and nurse managers are now able to make informed staffing decisions based on current schedule data. They can access schedule data from remote locations, track bonus shifts scheduled for employees, and use coverage watches to automatically track scheduled staff and staff hours, which reduces the chance for adding calculation errors.

“It had become extremely difficult to schedule employees with the old pen-and-paper method, especially since the schedule changes constantly. By the end of a pay period, the posted schedule doesn’t even resemble the original,” said Nikki Roed, vice president of nursing services at Trinity Health. “ScheduleAnywhere was easy to learn and it’s been an easy way to put together and manage our schedules.”

Communicating Staff Schedules Online
Since ScheduleAnywhere is online scheduling software, employees can login to see when they work and to request time off. They will always see the most current schedule. Managers can share schedules across departments and use the built-in messaging system to communicate with other managers.

“ScheduleAnywhere is an efficient way to create schedules and ensure proper shift coverage, while dealing with time-off requests” said Jon Forknell, vice president and general manager of Atlas Business Solutions. “ScheduleAnywhere is also a great tool for easier communication. It allows for more transparency, so managers and employees can see the most current and up-to-date schedules at anytime from anywhere.”

ScheduleAnywhere Release 2.0: New and Improved Web-based Employee Scheduling Service Now Available

FARGO, ND - March 10, 2006 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of small business software, today unveiled its new and improved version of ScheduleAnywhere®.

It also lets employees view schedules online, as well as submit time-off requests.

One of the most difficult tasks managers face is employee scheduling. Making sure the right employee is scheduled at the right time and place can be complicated and time consuming. Add this to the many individual time-off requests a manager receives and the hassle of finding replacements for "no shows," and employee scheduling can be downright problematic. To make these tasks as easy as possible, ScheduleAnywhere offers simple, yet effective, online tools for assigning and rotating work shifts, maintaining minimum staffing levels, handling time-off requests, and much more.

"ScheduleAnywhere 2.0 offers new functionality for both managers and their employees. Managers can save even more time and now employees have an easy and accessible way to check work schedules and request time off," said Jon Forknell, Vice President and General Manager of Atlas Business Solutions. Some new and improved features of ScheduleAnywhere include:

  • New Total Hours - Shows total hours scheduled by employee for 1 Day, 7 Day, 14 Day and 28 Day views.
  • New Hourly Coverage - See how many employees are scheduled by 1 hour, 30 minute, 15 minute, 10 minute, or 5 minute increments.
  • New Labor Hours - See total hours scheduled by hour for a particular day.
  • New Schedule Sharing - Easily share schedules with other managers.
  • New View Personal Schedule - Allows an employee to login and only see his or her individual work schedule (read-only).
  • New Request Time Off - Employees can submit time-off requests and managers can see shift conflicts and accept or deny the request.
  • New Search - Search for any schedule information, such as how many times a person has called in sick or tardy, vacation taken for any date range, or notes.
  • Improved Filters - See who's available by position, department, location, etc. and schedule replacements for "no shows."
  • Improved Printing & Export - Print or export schedule information for any date range.

Pricing, Availability and Support
ScheduleAnywhere is available at www.scheduleanywhere.com. ScheduleAnywhere costs just $19.95/month for up to 25 employees and $0.50/month for each additional employee.
