Automated Casual Rostering
Automatically fill vacancies in your roster with 2-Way SMS/TXT technology to see which part time, bank and pool staff are available to work a shift.
Whether you have vacancies arising from short fall, unexpected leave or additional staffing requirements, filling vacancies can be a time consuming and inefficient process. If you're like most organisations, you will have an obligation to offer shifts to permanent part timers and a mission to avoid agency use. Allocations can be a tricky business!
This is where NMPortal™ from Lingo Systems can help. Designed from the ground-up specifically for health, the Nursing and Midwifery Portal will dramatically streamline your allocations and casual rostering process.
Using the NMPortal™, your nursing and midwifery casuals log in and create a profile to define when they are available (days of week and shifts) and where they are available to work (campuses and wards).
When a vacancy is registered with the system, the Auto-Sourcing Algorithm (ASA) developed by Lingo Systems will send SMS/TXT and email offers to candidates until the vacancy is filled.
- Inexpensive. For a fraction of the cost of an Allocations EFT/ETF, the system works 24/7 and does not take leave.
- Real-time Availability Profiles. Nursing and Midwifery staff point-and-click to create a profile according to where and when they are available to work. Profiles can be updated when personal circumstances change, any time of day. Reminders can also be sent if profiles become stale.
- Fill vacancies fast. The Auto-Sourcing Algorithm offers shifts to candidates in batches, starting from the cheapest staffing option.
- Self-Service for Agencies. Agencies too can login and view vacancies that have been offered to them using the Agency Dashboard, entering details of the staff sourced.
- Designed for Health. Built from the ground-up with health in mind, not rehashed from another industry like Education or Hospitality.
- 2-Way SMS/TXT. Candidates who receive offers by SMS/TXT reply with 'Yes' to accept the offer.
- Cancellations. Staff can self-cancel by SMS/TXT or Employers can cancel if a more desirable staffing option becomes available, such as redeployment of permanents due to bed closures.
- Fully integrated to the Platinum™ Rostering and Workforce Planning tool. Vacancies filled or cancelled are fully integrated to the Platinum roster in real time using electronic system interfaces.
- Can be used standalone. If your existing rostering system does not lend itself to system integration, NMPortal™ can be used as a standalone system.
- Fair and equitable shift offers. The Auto-Sourcing Algorithm balances the quantity of offers amongst your casual staff.
- Works with your database. The system has a solid technology base to scale with thousands of part timers, bank and pool or just a small list. The Auto-Sourcing Algorithm streamlines the Allocations process.
- Keep your CFO happy. Fixed-fee annual licencing means budgeting is a snap, all inclusive of support, upgrades and maintenance.
- Keep your IT Manager happy. Formal change management, 2nd level support, service level agreement and no software to install on user PC's.
- Be up and running quickly. We can host the system on your servers or provide 'cloud' hosting for you.
