Where SimpleScheduleAI helps
Manager time
Most of those hours go back to the floor. What's left is 1 to 2 hours of review.
About $20,800 to $23,400 a year of manager time back, using your numbers.
Overtime
Overtime shows up on the draft, before anyone works it. When someone calls out, nurses who can cover without going into overtime are ranked first.
Agency
When someone calls out, you get a ranked list in under two minutes. Your own nurses come first. Agency comes last.
Turnover
Weekends and holidays are shared evenly, so the same few nurses don't carry them.
Your what-if
Set your own assumption. We don't quote savings percentages; these numbers are yours.
