The nursing and care agency software market continues to see growth as innovative companies strive to solve one of the oldest challenges the industry is facing. For all of the committed efforts of the workers within the industry to try and maintain the delicate balance between providing services and not collapsing and the sheer weight of demand for health and care, the growing need for nursing and care agency workers is still a big challenge.
Agency nursing forms the backbone of support for the NHS and private care institutions across the country. Having access to an ongoing rotation of trained professionals who can step in and provide support at a moment’s notice is how the industry continues to deliver high-quality care, even under tough conditions.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest challenges faced by agency workers and staff in almost every agency in the country is a lack of modern software that can properly support the digital age. There are very few software programmes that are reliable enough to cope with the demand of an increasingly digital and mobile agency industry, giving agency workers real-time updates and providing an essential hub from which they can access information about schedules and shift work.
The nursing and care agency markets are currently booming because more and more companies are stepping up to try and create software which is going to help the industry. Lots of big technology companies have realised that there is quite a lucrative market for developing cutting-edge software that can be used by practically every type of agency because a feasible replacement doesn’t exist on a wide scale yet.
Therefore, any type of software that can be deployed in most settings is going to be incredibly profitable, and big technology giants and corporations are taking note of this. Whoever designed the winning solution will ultimately set a precedent for any other software that comes after it.
Ultimately, we do need a proper overhaul of the current agency software in use in a lot of places. The issue with the current software is that it doesn’t benefit the most important part of the agency equation, which is the workers themselves. Agency workers frequently complain about not being able to get access to the shift work that they need, that there isn’t proper communication, and that they can’t keep track of schedules and get paid when they need to. It’s an ongoing problem, and it’s putting a lot of people off entering the agency world.
Companies like 20X are raising the bar for software. There are lots of providers out there doing very similar work. For example, their interface has been designed to be modern and intuitive, working on a minimalist approach. It comes with an app that connects directly to the existing software that can be downloaded by staff, so everybody has the same tools.
So, the future of nurse staffing software is bright.
The market continues to grow as more providers and technology companies start to realise that it would be possible to construct a management system that is more suitable for the digital age than what is currently in use. These same companies also recognise that many agencies are looking for a better solution.
The situation is rapidly becoming untenable for both the agencies and the workers, and eventually, it will begin to cause major problems.
Without a proper support system in place, the nursing agency will start to fall down. We need these workers to have a proper system in place to support them. If they are going to provide the flexible help that the NHS and private institutions need to keep looking after those who require aid, the system isn’t properly in place yet. There are still many agencies working with outdated management systems to the detriment of the workers and the clients that they serve. For this reason, the market for nursing and care agency software can only continue to grow and thrive.
