Pooled Tasks

Pooled tasks represent a streamlined approach to managing staff resources in environments like clinics, where flexibility and efficiency are paramount. For example, in clinic with ten nurses, all nursing tasks are consolidated into a single queue. This allows for a more dynamic allocation of responsibilities, as tasks can be easily assigned based on current availability and workload. When a nurse checks into a room using the tablet, they identify themselves, and the CHIME system automatically reorganizes the nursing tasks according to who is present and ready to take on specific duties.

This system enhances operational efficiency by ensuring that tasks are completed promptly and effectively, regardless of which staff is assigned. By eliminating the need for fixed assignments, pooled tasks enable a more responsive healthcare environment. Staff can focus on patient care rather than on administrative bottlenecks, leading to improved workflow and better patient outcomes. Overall, the pooled tasks model fosters a collaborative atmosphere where interchangeable staff can optimize their contributions based on real-time needs.
