Frequently asked questions
A recent survey found that 87% of providers see staffing shortages as their biggest challenge1. Given that supply has not kept up with demand, most healthcare organizations are now focusing on retention over recruitment. While pay and incentives are important, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. Employers are moving towards flexible scheduling, balanced workloads, development opportunities, and better communication. UKG offers a comprehensive, people-centric HCM solution that empowers the workforce with self-service capabilities, optimal scheduling, and fosters a sense of belonging and trust.
Another issue impacting retention is the poor design of systems and workflow processes. Ninety-two percent2 of clinicians agree that too much time is spent on administrative tasks. Of which only 39%2 believe that their digital health tools are effectively integrated into their workflows. For those healthcare organizations that have not invested the time and energy to optimize their people processes, they will find it difficult to achieve their strategic goals and initiatives. UKG also helps organizations begin their digital transformation journey – one that’s people first.
Created by UKG Workforce Institute, our people-centric maturity model is based around the core concept that people are an organization’s single greatest asset — and must remain a major focus as an organization implements strategic processes and matures. An organization’s state of performance is evaluated via UKG’s people-centric maturity model assessment and will provide instant recommendations on how to transform your healthcare processes.
Healthcare organizations are heavily focused on efficiently aligning their limited labor resources to the growing demands of patient care. Every physical area of healthcare organizations has its own unique resource needs based on the type of care service provided. Many clinical areas require real time visibility to staffing and frequent realignment of resources, while others, have staffing requirements that are more predictable and constant. Regardless of the environment, UKG has a solution to meet your needs.
UKG EZCall, our healthcare scheduling solution designed for clinician providers, streamlines daily scheduling of providers with the right skills at each location and to create fair and equitable on-call schedules to reduce staff fatigue and enhance staff engagement and satisfaction. UKG EZCall handles the most complex scheduling rules with a powerful and sophisticated scheduling algorithm.
UKG Pro Advanced Scheduling is typically used in clinical environments that use volume or rules-based staffing coverage. UKG Pro Advanced Scheduling allows employees to identify shift preference and availability; and it provides intelligence, rule checking, shift cover functionality, and leverages algorithms that prepare best-fit schedule.
