ANSOS One-StaffTM Application Suite

Improve patient outcomes and manage staff expectations — all in real time.

In a time of intense competition for clinical talent, hospitals must manage their human resources effectively to ensure patients receive quality care. ANSOS One-Staff™, McKesson’s enterprise productivity management solution, gives you the power to balance your organization’s clinical needs with the personal and professional goals of your staff — for consistently excellent patient outcomes.

Anticipate Workload Conditions

ANSOS One-Staff helps you predict, schedule and assign the optimal number of qualified staff members at the right places and times along the care continuum. With clinical relevancy, the ANSOS One-Staff solution allows management to anticipate workload conditions effectively and to meet staffing variations in real time.

Plan Ahead with Proactive Scheduling

Using an innovative intelligent scheduler, ANSOS One-Staff generates schedules automatically based on core coverage goals, customized scheduling rules and individual scheduling preferences. By conflict-checking all requirements and automatically filling holes with credentialed staff, ANSOS One-Staff dramatically accelerates the scheduling process. A powerful scheduling simulator projects the impact of decisions on costs and patient care for efficient utilization of overtime, agency and float staff.

Empower Staff with Web Scheduling Access

As a Web-based front end to ANSOS One-Staff, the Web Scheduler module grants employees and managers the

access they need to quickly view, manage and print schedules in real time. Staff can easily search for available shifts and submit work and time off requests. Web Scheduler supports complete self-scheduling, allowing employees to select shifts without manager intervention. Managers can time-stage open shifts by employee tiers, ensuring equitable self-scheduling for all employees. Managers can refine schedule management as desired, using filters to help prioritize the request queue.

The Enterprise Staffing Manager feature of ANSOS-One Staff promotes cost-effective staff utilization by providing a centralized display of immediate staffing conditions within the cost center, cost center group, facility or enterprise. With drag-and-drop simplicity, managers can institute all staffing changes in real time, from recalibrating unit coverage to swapping assignments between employees and managers. Float staff and agency personnel can be easily identified and reallocated.

Manage Credentialing for Magnet Recognition

A centralized, integrated database of employee demographic information provides accurate, detailed data, promoting compliance with nurse-to-patient staff ratios.

Balance Workload with Clinically Driven Staffing

Balancing your staff’s workload – especially during a nursing shortage – has never been an easy feat. The Assignment and Workload Manager module simplifies the task, using patient acuity and workload data to accurately forecast staffing requirements. Nurse managers are able to maintain equitable workload distribution in real time, improving positive patient outcomes and staff satisfaction levels. Through workload monitoring, vacancy fulfillment, roster preparation and budget data assessment, ANSOS One-Staff provides for flexible daily staff management.

Create Dynamic Workload Assessment

Using unit-defined patient assessment screens, Assignment and Workload Manager calculates each unit’s comprehensive acuity level, average patient level and total census. Units can reassess acuity as often as desired, implementing policies that support their best practices. Managers can easily change workload and target numbers to reflect the unit’s current reality.

Calculate Target Staffing Requirements

Acuity values and workload information are collected in Assignment and Workload Manager and sent to ANSOS One-Staff via an automated interface. ANSOS One-Staff

uses this data to calculate the cost center’s target staffing requirements for the upcoming shift. ANSOS One-Staff creates the current and short-term roster and sends a list of employees by skill to Assignment and Workload Manager. Patient-to-staff ratios and percentage of licensed staff are visible and reported upon for each unit, by shift and by day.

Comprehensive Analytics Support Real-Time Decision Making

The dynamic Web Reporting module provides personalized, role-based views of current productivity and labor cost data in a simplified display. Executives have a clear, comprehensive presentation of the staffing information presented in ANSOS One-Staff. Graphical dashboards turn reams of data into a useful performance management tool, providing the ability to track critical variances and analyze key indicators, such as hours (FTEs) and costs by summary and trend.

Real-time status tools help managers maintain overtime, agency and labor utilization on a shift-by-shift, unit-by-unit basis. Managers can allocate staff in an optimal manner for their cost center, their patients and their employees — while still meeting budgeted targets.
