The previous exploration of the value of the ShiftKey + OnShift integration, SAMI, delved into its revolutionary scheduling capabilities and stress-free management benefits. Building on that foundation, this second post in the series shifts the focus toward how it helps organizations optimize visibility into workforce costs and confidently grow census.
Learn how SAMI’s tools and advanced analytics help maintain high-quality care within budget and make it possible to adjust workforce levels dynamically to meet changing patient needs, ensuring operational excellence in senior care.
Optimizing visibility into workforce costs
SAMI isn't just a scheduling solution; it's a powerful ally for facilities looking to optimize visibility into workforce costs. By providing a complete view of your schedule — showing your in-house team and independent healthcare professionals in one place — you can more conveniently and easily have visibility into your workforce budgets and goals.
Budgeting analytics & HPPD: One significant challenge in healthcare scheduling is maintaining high quality of care while staying within budget. To address this, the ShiftKey + OnShift integration incorporates 'schedule-to-budget' analytics. By tracking HPPD, you can see if you are over- or under-scheduling based on your budget and number of patients and residents. The integration allows you to compare your target HPPD with actual HPPD, ensuring you stay on track with your budget.
Visualizing and managing coverage: With SAMI, facilities can see how close they are to their workforce goals and whether they need to make adjustments. With visibility into your total workforce, it’s easier to see gaps, manage coverage and adjust schedules while ensuring you stay within budgetary constraints. By helping you significantly reduce unfilled shifts, SAMI empowers you to overcome workforce challenges, combat burnout and elevate the quality of care provided. Customers increased employee shift requests by up to 71% while reduced agency usage by 45% on average.*
