Staff Registration Approval Process

After uploading above documents by nurse, Nurse Connect Administrator will check and approve the staff. Once approval process, Nurse Connect credentials will be sent to Staff/Nurse through personal Email Id. EMail Id will be considered as unique for users registration in Nurse Connect Application. So no two users should not have same email id.

Hospitals Registration

Hospital who required nurse services and on demand base need to register basic hospital details with Nurse Connect. These details includes Hospital location, nurse units, Positions etc.

Hospital Shift Admin Users Creation

Once after Hospital registration, there will be option for creating Hospital shift management admins in Nurse Connect applications. These users can get access for Nurse Connect to manage all shift details of the hospital in Nurse Connect.

Open Shifts posting to Nurse Connect

Hospital Shift Admins can post their hospital open shifts in Nurse Connect. We are planning to provide following three options to post shifts in Nurse Connect.

1. From the Nurse Connect interface can create open slots by Unit Name, Position, Date and required open slots.
2. Admins can import Standard Excel template into Nurse Connect
3. If Hospital have internal Shift Management Software (Like Shift Planner in CRMC) can directly communicate with Nurse Connect through API. So Both Applications will communicate through standard API.

Shift Request Process by Nurses

Nurses can apply for open shifts posted by Hospitals. There will be a check conditions before applying for the post. Like qualifications and skill set required by open shift from the Hospitals. For the same open slot any number of nurses can apply.

Shift Approval Process by Shift Admins

Hospital Admins can check and approve requests from nurses for the open slots. They can choose selected nurses based on their Skill set and rate carrds etc. Approved Slots information will be view from Nurse Connect interface by both Admins and Nurses. Nurse Connect Can also push this information directly to Hospital internal Shift Management softwares through API.

Shift Reports (Open Shift, Pending Approval, Approved Shifts etc)

Nurse Connect will provide interface for different reports like Open Shifts, Pending Approval, Approved shifts etc.

ABOVE ARE THE PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS ABOUT WORKFLOW IN NURSE CONNECT APPLICATION. IN UPCOMING DISCUSSIONS WILL UPDATE THIS DOCUMENT CONTINUOUSLY.
