Optimized nurse staffing. Made simple.

Simplified Staffing
When shifts become available, rather than picking up the phone, sending emails, texting or social messaging, the openings are posted in the app. All of your staff nurses that are credentialed for a given shift will receive a notification on their phones, and with a few clicks, the shift is filled.

Case Study
A regional hospital system with 2,000+ beds implemented Demand Workforce and had immediate results.
Problem
Hospital was filling less than 10% of on-demand, unplanned shift needs despite absorbing 4+ hours daily of charge nurse time. The process was so unreliable that charge nurses were outsourcing a huge percent of their shifts that drove up their costs exponentially.
Solution
The team implemented Demand Workforce and saw an immediate spike in on-demand staffing. Charge nurses reported 50%+ fill rate with just 5 minutes of effort, leading to a massive cost reduction.
Work smarter, not harder
"It was taking over three hours twice daily to fill less than 10% of our open ad hoc shifts. With Demand, our managers now spend less than five minutes per shift and fill 78% of our open opportunities daily. We are more efficient, saving money and providing a higher level of service to our customers. Our teams love this tool! ”
