HASC recently announced the launch of a new strategic partnership with ShiftWise, a leading provider in workforce management solutions. The partnership offers our members software services designed to manage all aspects of scheduling health care staff.
Founded by health care staffing professionals, ShiftWise offers health care-specific Software as a Service (SaaS), which enables hospitals and staffing suppliers to manage their internal and external contingent labor usage. The ShiftWise application consolidates ordering, license and credentials management, billing, and self-scheduling into a single, easy-to-use online service.
"The journey to find a workforce solution partner for HASC member hospitals so that they can more effectively manage contingent labor usage clearly led us to ShiftWise," said Scott Twomey, senior vice president of HASC. "Our member hospitals requested a solution to their workforce needs and after an exhaustive review of what was available in the market, we are pleased to recommend the ShiftWise solution to our constituents."
ShiftWise is a privately-held company and is currently utilized in more than 750 hospitals and numerous hospital associations nationwide.
