Efficient staffing in healthcare with automated SMS solutions

The opportunities to improve and streamline staffing in healthcare are extensive. Today, a lot of the people in charge are forced to wrestle with manual systems and contact registers when they need to call in reinforcement staff quickly. With an SMS-based solution for sending out inquiries and receiving answers, a lot of time can be saved as a summons process that previously took a very long time and can now go as fast as one minute.

In prehospital care, these are almost always time-critical processes. When extra staff is needed due to accidents, the right people must be in place quickly. You can’t lose time due to poor solutions and outdated technology. Therefore, it becomes very important to streamline processes and flows.

The right staff in the right place, quickly with SMS request

To quickly reach healthcare staff, smooth and fast processes are well needed. Regardless of the correct type of staff or situation – SMS is a good approach. Using an SMS solution for summoning reinforcement staff at critical events means that ambulances and medical staff can be in the right place quickly. 

The services we’ve developed aim to quickly provide the entire care chain with staff when and where it is needed. This applies both to summoning reinforcement staff at critical events and to more generic work requests. Staffing all roles in healthcare has to be quick and easy so that time can be spent on other than administrative chores. 

In addition to healthcare professionals, management teams may also need rapid staffing at critical events in healthcare. Although it may never be as time-critical as it is to call in nurses, a flexible SMS solution can be invaluable even when the management team needs to be strengthened.

SMS - a valuable tool in critical situations

Whether it is urgently necessary to strengthen the staff at an emergency department or manning an ambulance before an emergency call, SMS is a very good alternative. The fact that almost every person has their mobile phone easily accessible at all hours of the day makes SMS one of the safest ways to reach the recipient directly.

An automated solution based on SMS ensures that mailings and inquiries go out in connection with alarms. Smart contact registers and filtering options make it much easier for those who need to reach out with the information. In this way, the administrative work takes less time and energy, and more effort can be put into saving lives.
