How Float Pool Works
Float Out Your Staff:
Add Excess Staff to the Float Pool
Let’s say your department has low census. You realize you have excess staff who are still working. Instead of flexing them off, you can release them to the Float Pool.
Managers can release staff to a large float pool allowing any number of different facilities the ability to schedule the individual, depending on the individual’s ability to float to a specific destination based on their certifications, experience, and working hours.
Understaffed Unit Searches for Available Staff
A manager from an understaffed department, looking for more staff, will see only staff who are approved to work in their unit.
The manager can search, using various criteria, for both available staff and staff who could become available but have not yet been released to the Float Pool by their own managers. They can add the desired staff to their own department, solving their acute understaffing problem.
Notify Floated Staff of Their Updated Schedule
The receiving unit or department then schedules the staff they want from the Float Pool and sends them their schedules via SMS or Email. Each staff member receives a message instructing them where to go and when to arrive. Schedule individuals directly to a different facility for a set period of time, whether that is a few hours or a few weeks.
