Workforce Technology Solutions Playbook – Scheduling Software

On April 6, 2023 by Julie Apold

The Scheduling Software Playbook is the first in a series of workforce technology solution playbooks designed to assist you in identifying technology solutions to help address the workforce crisis.

Lack of time to research technology solutions and vendors was one of the primary barriers to technology implementation that members identified in a project survey.

The playbooks are designed to address this barrier by providing key product information, including:

• Vendor Matrix with key feature comparisons
• General cost information
• Infrastructure/space requirements
• Product capabilities/limitations
• Implementation strategies

Background

The LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation provided funding to research available workforce technology solutions. Input was gathered through surveys and focus groups involving LeadingAge Minnesota members, business partners, and LeadingAge Center for Aging Services (CAST) to identify priority areas that may benefit from technology. Feedback was also gathered on product information that should be included in each playbook. In-depth discussions were held with individual providers and vendors locally and nationally to research and gather information on specific technology solutions.

Upcoming Workforce Technology Playbooks

Two additional workforce technology playbooks are scheduled to be released in the coming weeks:

• Robotic dining solutions
• Resident vitals/monitoring technology
