WorkingCompany's own claimOfficial ↗

Problem

Nursing teams handled schedule changes through administrative workarounds. Managers spent time coordinating coverage and updating scheduling systems.

Approach

Wellstar piloted vflok's Swift copilot at three hospitals for six months. It combined generative AI with machine learning to coordinate coverage conversations and execute schedule changes. Most users interacted through SMS or chat, and Wellstar announced a wider rollout after the pilot.

Results

86%reduction in scheduling change-management time-on-task for nurses and support staff during the pilot, per WellstarCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

The reported savings concerned time spent managing schedule changes during the pilot. They did not measure reductions in total nursing hours.
