One of the critical components
of effective healthcare management is the ability to flex the
organization’s labor resources to accommodate fluctuations in
patient activity. ProAct facilitates decision-making by providing a
real-time staffing tool that allows you to see all your available
resources and move them around quickly as patient needs dictate.
ProAct provides a global picture using icons to identify
over and
understaffing.

ProAct shows available staff, filtered by user-definable
criteria such
as skill or preferred agency. ProAct can electronically import agency
staff with their license numbers, Skills and photo if desired,
eliminating the need to manually enter agency staff. ProAct
can send each agency exact hours, costs and locations where their staff
worked, avoiding manual verification of agency invoices.
Multiple units or facilities can be viewed together
through Windows
‘expand and collapse’ features or by selecting
units to be viewed together.

Maintaining availability of casual pools can be a
nightmare for
organizations. ProAct overcomes this problem by allowing
staff to enter and change their availability in a calendar format via
the Internet or intranet.
ProAct supports Evidence-Based Management by providing
an easy way to
capture the reasons for staffing decisions so outcomes can be analyzed
and trended. Staffing Notes are used to track health facility
or unit-specific issues such as:
- Why overtime was incurred
- Who approved the overtime
- Why on-call staff was used
- Other pressing business issues.
Staffing notes can be trended by unit, shift, or day of
the week to
pinpoint problems and monitor the effectiveness of solutions.
