Medical and Dental Staffing Software
Efficient staffing is one of the most crucial aspects of running a successful healthcare operation. Whether it's a dental clinic or a large medical facility, the right balance of staff ensures optimal patient care and operational efficiency.
But, managing open shifts, credentials, and compliance is no easy task. That's where CliniShift comes into play as a medical and dental staffing solution.
What is Dental and Medical Staffing Software?
Simply put, dental and medical staffing software is a specialised tool designed to help healthcare facilities manage their workforce more efficiently. This software handles everything from scheduling open shifts to managing credentials, compliance and time off requests.
Key Features of CliniShift
- Schedule Builder: Create, edit, share and publish rosters from the CliniShift Manager portal.
- Shift Management: All shifts are tracked and traced making verified shifts easy to extract for weekly and monthly payroll and reports.
- Credential Tracking: Keep records of certifications and define the particular skills required to work a specific shift.
- Time off Management: When managers approve time-off they can simultaneously post an open shift request to available staff to fill that gap created by the approved time-off.
- Medical & Dental Staffing Needs
Administrative roles have been some of the most impacted. The shortfall in these roles severely affects the daily operations of a dental clinic, from patient intake to the actual dental procedures.
The Link Between Shortages and Patient Wait Times
The dental staffing crisis has brought about negative results for patients and dental clinics. One of the most evident effects has been the extension of patient wait times.
- Extended Consultations: With fewer staff available, patients are often left waiting longer for consultations. This delay can be frustrating and lead to rescheduling or missed appointments.
- Prolonged Procedures: A reduced staff can mean longer durations for dental procedures, potentially making visits more tedious for patients.
- Delayed Follow-ups: Adequate post-procedure care is vital for recovery, but with limited staff, follow-up appointments are often deferred.
- Reduced Patient Satisfaction: Longer wait times, coupled with potential rescheduling, can lead to dissatisfaction among patients.
These challenges severely impact the patient experience and the quality of care, highlighting the urgent need for effective staffing solutions.

Manager Nursing Bank Unit
"The CliniShift App software has helped to address this problem, as it offers an automated daily status report on contingency staffing levels. I really like that this software solution has the ability to easily access the availability of our own cohort of Nurses & HCA’s in real-time which I see as critical to the continuity of care for patients. The CliniShift App empowers our staff to find extra capacity in their working week to fill internal shifts as well as providing transparency around the hospital’s overtime requirements."
