Meeting the Demand for Vaccinations with Centralized Staff Scheduling
February 19, 2021
The current pandemic has presented many challenges-both anticipated and unanticipated-through every facet of the healthcare industry including urgent care clinics and pharmacies. We’re becoming increasingly aware that these professionals are continuously operating at the top of their credentials, and with the roll out of several vaccines, there’s no slow down in sight.
Demand for vaccinations overall is skyrocketing in the United States. Obviously this is attributed to the current pandemic, but we’re also experiencing an uptick in all vaccinations. This is likely because the fear of contracting COVID-19 while fighting off another illness simultaneously is forcing people to obtain any and all vaccinations anywhere they can.
It’s not enough that we have the manpower to administer this unprecedented need. The need for a streamlined, organized, and user-friendly approach to managing the scheduling side of this is the quiet, yet complex issue that can make or break the process before it even starts. You need a robust, user-friendly solution to providing qualified coverage when and where you need it most.
- How do you pull all hands on deck when not everyone is qualified to give shots?
- How do you keep track of your staff credentials to determine who can fill shifts including vaccination administration and other supportive roles?
- How do you keep track of all of the new hires, current staff, who is qualified, who needs renewed licensing, or who still needs more training or certification at any given time?
- How do you oversee and staff vaccination events while still maintaining normal business operations during the busiest time of year for you?
You know you need a better way to oversee operations, and Schedule360 can help.
