Have a staffing problem? Text it
Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, November 12, 2007
The process of finding a replacement staff member can be an all-day affair. The hassle of making phone calls and talking to answering machines can take hours and can often leave nurse managers with staffing holes to fill. Text-A-Nurse hopes to change all that.
Created by Advantix Communications, a company comprising healthcare clinicians, staffers, and technology experts, Text-A-Nurse is a software program that seeks to save time and energy in the hospital setting. Using a computer, a staffing coordinator simply selects items such as date, shift, and qualifications from a drop down menu and sends out a text message to the phones of the staff who have previously expressed interest in hearing about open shifts. The software also allows customizable messages about classes, meetings, and emergencies.
