Piedmont and Piedmont Fayette Hospitals add self-scheduling for nurses

HealthLeaders News Brief, June 12, 2007
Piedmont Hospital in Buckhead, GA, and Piedmont Fayette Hospital (GA) Hospital, are implementing the self-scheduling module from RES-Q. RES-Q Labor Resource Management is a Windows-based, Web-enabled system for enterprise staffing and scheduling. With the optional self-scheduling module, employees can log on and view their department schedules and select their own shifts or propose exchanging shifts with colleagues. The department manager logs on to the management view in the module to review and approve shift requests and finalize schedules. E-mail messages are then automatically formatted and sent to employees·work and home e-mail addresses with their schedules.

Piedmont Hospital is a 458-bed acute tertiary care facility in the northern Atlanta community of Buckhead. Piedmont Fayette Hospital is a 106-bed acute care community hospital in Fayetteville, Ga. The hospitals have used RES-Q Labor Resource Management to manage staffing and scheduling since 1989.
