Filling a shift should not mean re-vetting a nurse you already know.

If your schedulers spend their days signing off on the same people, shift after shift, building after building, that is time nobody has to waste. The point is to fill your schedule with quality staff. Instant Booking is how AllShifts does that faster, without asking you to give up control of who walks through your doors.

Thankfully, this is not our first rodeo.

Key Takeaways

• Instant Booking lets AllShifts book returning staff, nurses who have already worked at your facility, based on their availability.
• You review each nurse once, when they are new and unfamiliar to you. Once they work out, they skip the redundant re-review.
• Preferred Staff, your go-to people, get first access the moment you post an open shift.
• The Do Not Return list guarantees anyone you exclude is never booked at your facility again.
• Your AllShifts Account Manager helps you maintain Your Staff list, so every name on it is one you trust.

What Is Instant Booking?

Instant Booking lets AllShifts book returning staff who have worked at your location before and completed any induction or clearance process, based on their availability.

It is the best of both worlds for schedulers. You want control over every person who comes through your doors to care for your residents and patients. You also don’t have time to vet and review the same staff for every opening. That is not feasible for one building. Across many buildings, it is impossible.

Instant Booking keeps the control your job demands and adds the efficiency of a well-oiled machine. Here is how it works:

1. A nurse who is new to you wants to work your shift. You review them the first time, when they are unfamiliar. AllShifts thoroughly screens every nurse we recommend and clears any requirements specific to your facility.
2. You approve them, and they work the shift. They prove themself in your building, delivering the quality of care your residents deserve.
3. After that, they are eligible for Instant Booking. The next time you have an opening that fits their availability, we can book them in seconds. No repeat paperwork, no living on a staffing app.

Instant Booking saves you the redundant review of people you already vetted, approved, and, most importantly, watched deliver quality care firsthand at your facility. Who has time to re-evaluate the same people over and over?

What About My Go-To People for Coverage?

We all have our favorites, the regulars we can count on without a second thought. AllShifts lets you designate these people as Preferred Staff.

Preferred Staff are the nurses you would ask first if they were standing in your building. AllShifts mimics that real-world scenario. The moment you add shifts that need coverage, the app alerts your Preferred Staff so they get first dibs. If they are available, they are scheduled within seconds of you posting the shift.

If your Preferred Staff are not available, AllShifts then alerts returning staff who have worked at your facility before. These are nurses you already approved and who know your building. They appear on Your Staff list and are up for Instant Booking. For them, the fastest to the shift wins. The first to respond gets booked.

That is the whole waterfall: your favorites first, then your proven returners. Whether you are covering a planned gap or a last-minute call-out, the scramble is gone.

Who Stays in Control? You Do.

Instant Booking is predicated on maintaining Your Staff, the list of returning nurses approved to work at your facility. AllShifts Account Managers help you prune that list so it stays at the utmost quality. When a need comes up, any nursing pro on Your Staff list can fill it, and you can rest assured about every one of them.

You hold the levers at every step:

• If someone does not work out, or you know ahead of time they are not a good fit, put them on the Do Not Return list. They will never be booked at your facility again.
• If someone you approved is booked but is not who you want on a particular shift, cancel them and book someone else.

All the checks and balances are in place to ensure quality and compliance. All the technology is tuned to make staffing efficient. All the last-minute frenzy is eliminated. That is AllShifts at its best.
