App Concept
ShiftWise Delegation
ShiftWise Delegation is a staffing and scheduling app for healthcare that automatically balances shift assignments to protect nurses' FTE hours and overtime rules, and includes a built-in delegation tool to assign tasks to appropriate staff (CNAs, techs) based on scope and availability. It reduces burnout by ensuring nurses aren't overworked due to poor scheduling or unfair task distribution.
Key Features
- Shift scheduling algorithm that respects FTE commitments and avoids canceling shifts after voluntary overtime
- Real-time task delegation interface matching tasks to qualified support staff (CNAs, techs)
- Automated alerts when nurse-to-patient ratios exceed safe thresholds
- Delegation training module with best practices for new RNs
Target Users: Hospital and skilled nursing facility (SNF) nurse managers and directors of nursing
Revenue Model: Subscription per facility (SaaS) based on number of nurses and support staff
