A HealthStream eGuide

Our buyer’s guide will equip you with key questions to ask any software provider and assist you with decoding what it all means and why it matters.

If your ward is looking to move away from the ‘MacGyver’ type rostering solutions where CNO’s patch together duty rosters from spreadsheets or post it notes, it’s important to do your due diligence before investing in new software. You might also be thinking “I’m not a software engineer, how do I know what questions to ask software vendors to get the best solution?”. We understand you! That’s why we’ve put together this easy-to-read buyer’s guide to help Nurse Managers or CNO’s become equipped with what to ask a vendor when researching rostering software.

A peek inside…

  • Is it better to have nurse rostering software on-premises or cloud-based?
  • Can the nurse scheduling software interface with other third-party systems?
  • How often is data communicated between integrated systems?
  • What is the smallest interval the workforce management software can recover?
  • As workforce optimisation software, does it support auto-import of users?
  • How many shift types can the solution accommodate?
