Nurselink.co.uk, the first product to be released by Link 24 7 Company Ltd, is an innovative new service provided free of charge to hospitals, for managing their bank and agency staff. Nurselink enables hospitals to match their temporary staffing requirements to suitably qualified and available nurses via their chosen nursing agencies, using the Internet.
Recent headlines have highlighted the high costs to the NHS, which are associated with using agency staffing. The Nurselink system helps hospitals to regain control of costs. By providing a simple and fast way of sourcing staff, ward managers can concentrate on nursing instead of administration and leg-work reducing their ëhidden costsí as well as the costs of calling around agencies. The system presents a list of nurses matched against the hospitals requirements, together with their associated rates, empowering the ward managers to choose the most qualified, experienced nurses and competitive agencies.
Nursing agencies also benefit from using the service. It gives them a more effective method of communicating with the hospitals reducing the risks of cancellations, double bookings and other clerical errors. Nurselink also gives the agencies a secure and easy to update capability for managing their nursesí details and gives them sophisticated ëat a glanceí availability information.
The hospitals and agencies arenít the only ones who stand to gain from using the Nurselink system, the nurses themselves will benefit as well. Their capabilities, experience and availability is held within the Nurselink database ensuring that details are always up-to-date and up-to-the-minute availability information is readily obtainable, resulting in more continuous working patterns for the staff themselves.
