No More Open Shifts — Online Scheduling Tools Make for Quick Work
For anyone who is responsible for health care staffing, the invention of caller ID was a huge step backward for the fine art of filling open shifts. When their phones ring, off-duty staff can easily see the hospital is calling and choose not to pick up. Since caller ID hit the scene, “no answer” usually means “no way.”

Flexible Workforce Management: Reaping the Benefits at North Central Baptist Hospital
The nationwide nursing shortage and increasingly competitive labor market are making it harder and harder for hospitals to attract and retain qualified staff. Experts predict that nursing staff shortages will continue to outpace demand despite the nearly eight percent increase in total nurses reported in the most recent Health and Human Services government survey, with Texas and other states reporting staffing levels more than 20 percent below the national average.

Hospital Clients Nurture Firm's Scheduling Software
Confronted with spending millions of dollars persuading nurses to work overtime, an Indianapolis hospital administrator had a novel thought: Could a computer program let nurses "bid" on which shifts they wanted and how much they should get paid? It would be like EBay in reverse - the nurse who bid the lowest salary would get the shift, and those who wanted to earn more could try for unpopular hours.
