Eliminate short staffing

With appointment-based scheduling, you can schedule staff when they're really needed to avoid spreading yourself too thin. Predictive scheduling helps you accurately staff shifts according to resident needs, helping you avoid short-staffed scenarios.
Automate workforce and CMS sharing through integrations

Streamline your hiring process and reduce administrative burden by synchronising staff data through a CMS integration (e.g., Nourish Care) to eliminate duplicates and prevent data discrepancies.
Prevent Burnout
-
Set maximum hours, get overtime alerts, and enforce breaks to comply with UK legislation. Preventative measures like these protect your caregivers from high stress and fatigue that can lead to turnover.
Control your labour costs
-
By predicting demand and applying staff-to-patient ratios, you can prevent unnecessary overtime and avoid overstaffing. With this precision, you’ll lower your labour costs without compromising care quality.
Enforce staffing requirements
-
Set minimum patient-to-staff ratios and qualification requirements when your managers create work schedules. This means you won’t have to worry about employees being scheduled without having the necessary qualifications, or staff working with out-of-date certifications.
