In one year, 600+ facilities filled over 245,000 shifts with Schedule Automation Marketplace Integration (SAMI), bringing customers a collective $111MN increase in revenue
April 3, 2024 (DALLAS) – Last year, ShiftKey, a leading technology marketplace disrupting healthcare through data and workforce empowerment, and OnShift, a ShiftKey brand, launched their Schedule Automation Marketplace Integration (SAMI), a first-of-its-kind system that combines the full power of ShiftKey’s workforce marketplace and OnShift’s dashboard view and data. The result was empowering facilities with the resources and data-driven insights needed to make strategic workforce decisions in the short and long term.
Over the past year, SAMI has grown to provide more than 600 healthcare organizations with a complete view of their schedule — giving total transparency and visibility into workforce planning. These tools have helped organizations build a complete schedule proactively and cost-effectively, driving census growth that has generated more than $111M in annualized revenue for facilities (or customers) using SAMI.
SAMI’s impact
The implementation of SAMI has yielded remarkable results. Within the last six months alone, facilities who have seen an increase in census have been able to increase occupancy by 8%. This is a notable jump from the previous six months which saw a 6% increase in census for facilities that were using SAMI, and substantially higher than the national average increase of census, which was at just 1.26%. Moreover, the platform has effectively reduced unfilled shifts by up to 90%, alleviating the burden on schedulers and resulting in significant time savings amounting to a total of 51,000 hours. This streamlined approach has translated into substantial cost savings, with organizations collectively saving over $760K on administrative hours. SAMI users have also seen a remarkable reduction in agency hours by 45%, indicating a shift towards more efficient workforce planning practices. Additionally, employees within SAMI-enabled facilities have embraced the technology, with up to a 71% increase in shift requests, highlighting newfound flexibility and empowerment in their work arrangements.
“To best manage temporary worker use, communities need to accurately manage their schedule and be proactive in filling needs,” said Joe Schiller, Vice President of Human Resources, Tutera Senior Living & Health Care. “SAMI enables us to gauge the proactiveness of communities in meeting their internal staffing needs while equipping us with the necessary tools to establish procedural safeguards for scheduling independent workers within budget constraints. With a focus on accurate scheduling, communities can ensure they are within budget every time.”
