RES-Q® Scheduling
Workforce Management Leader Adds iRES-Q® to Suite of Innovative Scheduling Applications
San Diego, Calif. and Atlanta, Ga. – March 1, 2010 – Today at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference and exhibition, being held March 1-4 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Concerro, Inc., the only hospital workforce management system that “improves both quality of life and your bottom line,” unveiled its new iPhone application in support of its RES-Q scheduling solution.
The new iRES-Q™ iPhone application was designed to allow users of RES-Q Labor Resource Management to view their schedules, self-schedule, request shift swaps and review/request open shifts across all units for which they are qualified to work. The iRES-Q application continually updates and displays the most up-to-date information synchronized with each facility’s RES-Q scheduling database.
“Unlike other systems, Concerro solutions are designed to improve both employees’ quality of life while boosting the hospital’s bottom line,” said Michael Meisel, vice president of product management and marketing at Concerro. “iRES-Q gives our customers additional flexibility and functionality to make scheduling easier and faster for employees and more efficient for hospitals.”
“Innovation is one of the reasons Concerro acquired RES-Q,” said Graham Barnes, CEO of Concerro. “But a close second is user loyalty. Our clients have loved and trusted RES-Q for years. The new iPhone application is our way of showing them our continued commitment to making their jobs even more rewarding and productive.”
