SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium Selects RES-Q Labor Resource Management for Staffing and Scheduling

Calabasas, Calif. (PRWeb) December 12, 2006 -- RES-Q® Healthcare Systems announced that SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC, pronounced "search") has selected RES-Q® Labor Resource Management for staffing and scheduling. The software system produces clinically sound, skill-matched and financially optimized staffing in efficient schedules.

"We evaluated three alternative systems in detail, and the RES-Q system was the most flexible and affordable," said Joy Blanchette, nursing administrator, SEARHC Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital, Sitka, Alaska.

SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC), www.searhc.org, is a non-profit, tribal association of 18 Native communities. One of the oldest and largest Native-run health organizations in the nation, SEARHC is dedicated to serving the health needs of the Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshean and other Native people of Southeast Alaska. SEARHC operates Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital, a 40-bed general medical and surgical hospital in Sitka, and the Juneau Medical Center. Both are former Indian Health Services facilities. SEARHC also runs nine smaller clinics in remote villages.

SEARHC is implementing RES-Q Labor Resource Management with the RES-Q® Patient Attribute Module. It provides an interactive acuity tool that enables nurses to capture each nursing intervention and key patient attribute by clicking on items in department-specific lists. Each intervention and attribute has a relative workload value assigned to it. As interventions and attributes are selected, the module calculates the acuity level or point value for each patient, by shift or on a daily basis. RES-Q Labor Resource Management utilizes the resulting patient classifications as the basis for determining the correct mix of staff and skills required to provide the most appropriate patient care based on the intensity of patients' medical needs.

RES-Q Healthcare Systems will demonstrate its staffing and scheduling software solutions at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference & Exhibition, February 25 to March 1, 2007, Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, La. RES-Q will be located at booth #3165.
