"In today's healthcare environment, hospitals need to identify operational efficiencies while improving patient care. The IntelliBlast system is a novel staff allocation solution that allows hospitals to substantially reduce costs while ensuring better utilization of clinical professionals and adherence to recommended staff-to-patient ratios. The technology is truly revolutionary, and the solution it provides is immediately valuable to hospitals," said Matthew Browning, CEO of TIC.
TIC was formed in 2007 by healthcare entrepreneurs who know from experience about the challenges hospitals face in identifying and deploying clinical professionals. The patent-pending IntelliBlast system was created to allow two-way communications to be conducted in real-time, on a variety of communications devices, through multiple methods of contact (i.e. text, phone, email, etc.). Beyond open shift fulfillment, the system can be used to initiate time-sensitive inventory allocations, appointment coverage, geo-sensitive resource allocation and activation of emergency or required services. The IntelliBlast system integrates seamlessly with existing clinical and HR systems and does not require a separate operational platform.
"Ensuring that a nurse is present at the right time, in the right location, is time consuming and costly for hospitals and health systems and we believe the IntelliBlast system offers an ideal solution. We are excited to become a part of the TIC organization, which not only has a patent-pending cutting-edge technology solution, but also a highly talented management team. Targeted resource allocation is the future of healthcare staffing and shift fulfillment," said Joe Mayernik, partner in Alliance Healthcare Fund.
"Our staffing software offers tremendous benefit to clinicians too," added Browning. "When scheduling is not handled efficiently or communicated well, it can lead to shifts being short-staffed which, in turn, puts clinicians under increased stress, potentially decreasing job satisfaction and increasing turnover. Additionally, clinicians can create their own system preferences so they are not bothered on days when they are unavailable or taking time off. With IntelliBlast, they decide where, when and how often they want to work."
