$1m Giveway - Reply TXT ‘YES’ to Work July 20, 2010

Lingo Systems has today announced it is giving away $1 million of software licenses hospitals, clinics and nursing homes.

The giveaway is to celebrate the launch of its new product, Automated Casual Rostering System, which uses two-way SMS/TXT technology to roster or schedule staff to fill shift vacancies.

“Labour costs are typically the single largest category of costs to a hospital or nursing home,” says Kurt Lingohr, Managing Director of Lingo Systems, a boutique IT healthcare company based on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia.

Lingohr says, “The objective of this system is to roster staff more effectively and reduce agency usage.” “When a nurse calls in sick or is unable to work, that triggers a large amount of administrative work behind the scenes to cover for that shift, called a vacancy. The process of filling a vacancy is usually jumping on the phone ringing-around to see who is available on short notice to pick up an extra shift. It’s very time consuming for staff who are already overburdened.”
