Record Growth, New Functionality and Partnerships Produce Record Marks for ShiftWise
- 8/14/2008
PORTLAND, Ore.—August 13, 2008 –ShiftWise, the leader in End-to-End
workforce solutions continues to see strong demand for its
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) suite of applications. During the first
half of the year, ShiftWise experienced record revenue growth, with the
addition of new customers and expansion of existing product lines. This
growth is attributed to new product and service enhancements made as
the result of the feedback gained from close collaboration with
customers and suppliers alike. New customers include: University of
North Carolina Medical Center, University of Louisville Hospital,
Glendale Adventist Medical Center, Memorial Health System Colorado
Springs, PinnacleHealth, Bethesda Memorial Hospital, Via Christi Health
System, MediCorp Health System and more.
“Our company has been
able to meet and exceed the needs of the market place. ShiftWise
customers have played an integral part in this growth as we honor the
feedback and suggestions they provide enabling ShiftWise to continually
improve the quality and functionality of our technology and our
services,” said Steve Schwartz, ShiftWise CEO. “Our commitment to our
customers is why we continue to be the solution of choice by hospitals
across the United States when they seek an end-to-end workforce
solution.”
Expanding Capabilities
ShiftWise’s
initial entry in the marketplace was to automate the process
surrounding the recruitment and scheduling of nurses. In the last half
of 2007, and continuing into 2008, the demand for using ShiftWise in
other areas of contingent labor has been strong. In order to address
customer demand, Shiftwise augmented their core vendor management
system (VMS) and internal resource pool (IRP) staff self-scheduling
applications. Enhancements over the last year have focused on systems
integrations, non-clinical staff scheduling, Locum Tenens scheduling
and staff credential verification features.
ShiftWise now has
a credential verification platform that allows hospitals to verify and
approve staff profile components such as testing, credential and
immunization requirements for both their internal and supplier staff.
This ensures staff compliance, keeps hospitals up to standards with
Joint Commission and trends them toward the achievement of the American
Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition program.
Strategic Partnership Enhancements
Through
an expanded partnership with FlexChoiceRN, ShiftWise is now assisting
hospitals with developing, deploying and maintaining custom designed
internal float pools. In the past internal float pools were difficult
to manage but by using ShiftWise hospitals are able to focus on vital
issues such as recruitment and retention rather than an administrative
paper chase to fill their contingent workforce needs.
