UMC Health System Makes Employee Scheduling Faster with ScheduleAnywhere
Lubbock Texas burn center, trauma and surgical ICU have streamlined the way they manage work schedules
Fargo, ND - August 2, 2016 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. announced today that UMC Health System In Lubbock, Texas has started to schedule their healthcare team with ScheduleAnywhere. Since switching, the paper trails have been eliminated and staff have enjoyed being able to access or make requests from home. In January 2016, the company made the switch to ScheduleAnywhere and is using it as its healthcare staff scheduling software. The new system has made the staff happier and the workload lighter.
Staffing UMC Health System is vital. The team there treats patients who are facing life and death injuries every day. Without having the proper staff on board, the entire team suffers.
Prior to switching to ScheduleAnywhere, staff would fill out their schedule on a blank schedule at the nurse station. Then, if anyone needed time off, they would have to fill out a request form.
"Transferring the paper version of the schedule into an electronic version was time consuming. Staff wanted to be able to enter their own schedule and request time off from home," said Amanda Venable, MSN, RN, CCRN and Department Director of Timothy J. Harnar Burn Center/Trauma and Surgical ICU at UMC Health System.
Since switching, Venable said scheduling has made it easier for the staff to pick up extra shifts. It has also made the scheduling process faster.
"They like that they can view their schedule as well as looking to see who they are working with that day," she said.
With this increased convenience in the scheduling process, UMC Health System has made their team happier while saving their human resources department a significant amount of time.
