Discover how Andgo's automation tools are reshaping healthcare operations and improving efficiency.

 

End-to-End Automation for Streamlined Processes

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, effective scheduling and staffing are critical to ensuring optimal patient care and maintaining employee satisfaction.

 

 

By automating manual scheduling tasks, such as shift call-off and shift filling, Andgo enables schedulers and staffers to focus on more strategic and high-value tasks. This not only improves operational efficiency but also empowers the workforce.

 

 

With Andgo's automation solution, healthcare organizations can achieve significant operational savings and efficiency. The automation of tedious tasks reduces errors and saves time, allowing staff to dedicate their efforts to providing optimal patient care.

 

 

Significant Cost Savings

One of the most remarkable benefits of Andgo's tools is the significant reduction in time required to fill an open shift. What used to take 35 minutes can now be accomplished in 4 minutes or less. This efficiency not only saves valuable time but also ensures that staffing gaps are quickly resolved, maintaining continuity in patient care.

 

 

Moreover, Andgo's automation tools minimize errors in scheduling processes, which reduces the need for contract labor and overtime. By eliminating these errors, healthcare organizations can achieve substantial cost reductions.

 

The cost savings obtained from Andgo's tools allow organizations to allocate resources more effectively and invest in other areas of patient care.

 

Real-Time Data

Andgo's staffing dashboard provides healthcare organizations with real-time insights that drive smarter staffing decisions. This data-rich dashboard and access to over 40 reports, enables organizations to identify trends, patterns, and problem areas in staffing.

 

 

With access to real-time data, healthcare organizations can quickly adapt to vacancies and changing staffing needs, ensuring that optimal staffing levels are maintained at all times.

 

 

The availability of real-time data also enables proactive management in healthcare organizations. By utilizing this data, organizations can improve ratio adherence and ensure that staffing levels are appropriate for patient care needs.

This proactive approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also improves the overall quality of care provided to patients.

 

Better Employee Experience

Andgo's automation solution offers enhanced scheduling flexibility, which is a significant factor in employee satisfaction.

 

 

Employees have the ability to view and apply for vacant shifts days, weeks, or even months in advance, allowing them to balance their work-life commitments effectively. This flexibility leads to increased job satisfaction and loyalty among employees.

 

 

According to McKinsey & Company, "Healthcare facilities that offer flexible schedules see reduced absenteeism and turnover, with some reporting up to 80% of employees feeling more loyal to their organization due to flexible work options".

By prioritizing employee satisfaction and work-life balance, healthcare organizations can create a positive and supportive work environment, leading to improved employee retention and overall performance.

 

 

With Andgo, healthcare organizations are better positioned to delivering exceptional care. By leveraging Andgo’s automation tools in their UKG Workforce Management Platform, these organizations can streamline processes, reduce errors, and save valuable time, allowing them to focus on their primary mission—providing top-notch patient care.

 

 

Andgo empowers healthcare organizations to thrive, ensuring they have the right staff at the right time, ultimately leading to better outcomes for both employees and patients.
