The Problem

Nurse turnover costs US hospitals $12B/year. Five of the top 10 reasons nurses leave the workforce can be impacted by improving schedules.

Staff schedulers spent more than 20 hours of time on the administrative task of scheduling. That time equates to staff not providing direct patient care.

Legacy scheduling systems provide no objective staffing insights on which leadership can base changes.
