 "ShiftHound enables us to maintain proper staffing levels for patient
care and manage labor costs for budget purposes at the same time. It
allows us to quickly determine the financial impact of any labor changes
without having to compute manually. Using ShiftHound is a huge time
saver and also provides transparency at multiple levels of the
organization." — Jay Trumbo,

 "Summit Medical Group chose Shifthound because it offers a centralized staff scheduling solution for more than 55 clinical departments. We can modify assignments and better forecast shift needs -- tasks that might get lost in the paper world. We can access Shifthound from any computer at any time and make updates for real time viewing/decision-making. From nurses to physicians, clinical staff love having a web-based schedule and staff schedulers love the ability to view and confirm time off requests. Shifthound at Summit Medical Group streamlines staffing, improves communication, contributes to greater efficiency and ultimately, produces more time for patient care"
— Karen Graham, Chief Operating Officer

 "ShiftHound has given us the ability to track overtime, in real time, and adjust our staff schedules accordingly. When we have a temporary drop in census we are able to immediately identify what shifts are in overtime thereby reducing our overtime FTE usage rate."
