As your organization grows in size and scope, creating the optimal schedule can become increasingly complex and time-consuming. The GEM Health Care System can dramatically simplify that task:

- Check resource availability instantly. The user-friendly cross reference scheduling screen shows both the employees and the shift that needs to be filled on the same screen

- Assign resources automatically. The user can schedule employees in seconds. Employees can be listed by any number of ways i.e. hire date, number of hours worked or postal code, to name a few. Furthermore, employees can be effectively matched by skill set: therefore, allocation of resources to the appropriate locations is possible.

- Monitor schedules in real time. With the ability to generate schedules for months in advance, while keeping the proper staffing with the appropriate skills, a more motivated and content work force is the result.

You can also prepare a master schedule by using the shift template easily and effectively for any length of time, whether it is for days, weeks, months or your organization's specific pay periods.

This tool is fully adaptable to your organization's shift times, whether they are long, regular or short shifts and for however long you want. You can do anything with this feature!

Imagine getting the status of every department and employee in your organization when you want it. Or picture integrating with payroll software applications, improving HR reporting and reducing the scheduling coordinator's time and reducing payroll mistakes to zero. It's all possible with GEM Health Care System Health Information Management tools from GEM Software Solutions Inc.

- This technology allows for simple time card verification, easy reporting and one time capture data screens. It also integrates with payroll software and swipe cards.

The employer recognizes the need for flexibility in allowing employees to schedule their hours to meet the requirements of their positions.

These can be tailored to your collective agreement without programming. No more worry about scheduling staff into overtime hours, or about breaking union rules by not allowing enough time between shifts. In addition, an availability list of those ready to work is at your fingertips. Unnecessary expenditures for overtime hours are vastly reduced and finding replacements for shifts is hassle free.

To ease the task of user administration, privileges are assigned primarily to the group rather than the individual user account. When you assign privileges to a group, users are automatically assigned those privileges when they become a member of that group. This method of administering privileges is faster than assigning each user when the account is created. Groups can be setup to view records, add records, edit records and delete records.

- Design allows for tight integration between Windows 2003 and the Database. Through designed user groups based on each user's needs, they are granted varying privileges. This allows for efficient monitoring of the system. Enhancing this feature is the user log that tracks every action made on the system.

- Standardize best practices. This is a 32-bit encryption authentification web-based application.

- Audit trail of all transactions. Admin users can access a transactions database to verify transactions on a record(s). All modification is electronically signed and time stamped.
