Operational Efficiency
Streamline operational staffing meetings
SafeCare facilitates real-time staff deployment, offering live visibility of staffing levels. By aligning staffing with patient demand, it identifies areas with shortages in workload-based care hours.
Designed for seamless reviews of daily staffing issues, it ensures safety across units and the organisation, providing an instant assessment of staffing adequacy to meet clinical demand.
Empower Staff with Professional Judgement
Mitigate and escalate risks
Professional judgement allows clinical opinions to be logged in SafeCare, enabling the clinical leader on duty to flag if a risk should be mitigated or escalated. You can utilise this key data to ensure safety metrics are validated against the expertise of clinicians on the ground.
Cascade Workforce Risks
Highlight workforce risks, reduce patient safety events
Clinical users can raise ‘red flags’ to cascade workforce risks to senior management. This key data point ensures leadership can support areas that require clinical focus to ensure patient safety.
Organise Data and Streamline Views
Drive rostering engagement
Organise all data within Allocate Optima into easy, digestible, daily views. For staff that do not build rosters, manage personnel or produce reports, SafeCare provides easy to use, streamlined views, with daily actions, that make it easier for clinical staff to engage with electronic rostering.
