Two disruptive care technology providers connect to solve healthcare staffing challenges

Adaptive Care and BookJane join forces to create a partnership for a workforce scheduling solution for senior living, skilled nursing, hospitals and other healthcare organisations.

As the workforce crisis continues in healthcare and upwards of 40% of frontline workers prefer to work in a gig environment, the healthcare industry has struggled to find an effective workforce management solution. For this reason, Darren Ratcliffe, Adaptive Care Managing Director and Curtis Khan, BookJane founder and CEO, have spent years working with senior living communities, skilled nursing facilities, hospitals and other healthcare organisations to understand all of their challenges.

This new exclusive partnership means that BookJane, a top workforce scheduling platform, will now be available to UK hospitals and care homes. The collaboration will present care providers with a simple and unique alternative to traditional management of staff scheduling, call-outs, and time and attendance tracking.

Launching today in the United Kingdom and Ireland under the Adaptive Care portfolio of services, BookJane offers the following benefits:

• Automatic shift fulfilment: Instant call-out alerts to fill urgent shifts, including the ability for shifts to be shared with multiple locations.
• A mobile-first, gig-friendly application and platform that empowers workers to browse, self-schedule, and accept shifts directly from their phones.
• End-to-end scheduling, including the ability to build and publish team schedules in minutes, and manage capacity.
• A staffing agency marketplace designed to create pricing transparency, competition, and invoice oversight.
• A single dashboard that builds, manages, and accesses schedules.
• Instant communication with the entire staff.

Combining these two successful technologies, streamlines multiple staffing functions into one dynamic solution that raises the bar on automation and ease of use.

“BookJane is incredibly simple and can take less than weeks to implement. The platform saves administrative time and effort so our clients can get back to what matters most—delivering quality care and services to residents,” says Curtis Khan, CEO at BookJane.

“If staff agencies have no problem filling shifts, then neither should our clients. The BookJane workforce scheduling solution provides operators with an easy way to leverage internal talent to create an in-house gig economy that mirrors agencies’ ability to fill shifts. We are very excited to be working with Adaptive Care to be able to offer our platform in the UK market”.

“The ability to reduce shift scheduling administration by up to 90% and almost eliminate the need for expensive agency staff is a significant operational and financial benefit to UK care providers. Our mission is to support health and social care workers through the use of quality technology solutions and BookJane is the perfect addition to our partner program to support this goal” says Darren Ratcliffe, MD of Adaptive Care.

Built on a cloud-based platform, BookJane allows users to create and post open shifts in minutes so that staff, who are notified immediately, can respond through the BookJane mobile app. Employees at nearby partner locations can also be notified about open shifts in case extra help is needed outside the core internal team.

“The existing workforce management systems are no longer working, and the gig economy is taking the healthcare industry by storm,” says Khan.

“Times have changed, and companies must think differently about workforce scheduling. We created BookJane to simplify the scheduling process while at the same time providing broader, more customized options that reduce costs. As we looked to deliver BookJane’s technology in an expedited manner, we found that Adaptive Care’s large geographic footprint in the healthcare industry was just the right platform.”
