Nursa, a nationwide platform that exists to put a nurse at the bedside of every patient in need, today announced the launch of an artificial intelligence assistant that enables healthcare facilities to rapidly generate shift listings within the Nursa platform.

The first-of-its-kind smart scheduling tool helps organizations post single or bulk shifts within seconds so they can reach qualified, available clinicians immediately.

Active now within the Nursa platform, the Nursa Intelligence Assistant or “NIA,” allows post creation three ways: users can speak directly to NIA, describing their shift needs; they can take a photo of relevant shift information, even if it’s a handwritten scribble; and they can upload any spreadsheet or file used to track scheduling. From there, NIA fills in the details, letting users review and edit, and confirm pricing, before posting.

Carlee Scholl, staffing coordinator at Sullivan Park Care Center in Spokane, Wash., manages up to 150 shifts per month and recently began using NIA to schedule individual and bulk shifts. She described the experience as quick and accurate, with the AI assistant capturing all the details perfectly. “I just looked it over to make sure it was everything that I needed,” she said. “It was spot on.”

“Artificial Intelligence is opening up new opportunities to streamline cumbersome workflows so healthcare facilities can focus on the important business of delivering quality patient care,” said Curtis Anderson, CEO and founder of Nursa. “With NIA, facilities eliminate the repetitive typing and data entry of shift posting by generating one or thousands of shifts in just seconds. We’re redefining what fast and easy staffing feels like, and this is just the beginning.”
