With the Smartlinx platform you can build ideal schedules around shifts, roles, rotations, and compliance requirements, without starting from scratch every day. Our intuitive console gives managers real-time visibility in daily schedules and alerts them to potential issues, so you can quickly and easily adjust schedules to your needs. Smartlinx scheduling helps you keep your staff informed of schedule updates, shifts covered, and operations compliant—all while saving time and reducing administrative stress.
Smartlinx takes the guesswork out of ensuring your schedules are compliant by automatically adjusting shifts based on your real-time census, resident acuity, and HPPD requirements. Predictive scheduling with alerts helps you spot potential coverage gaps before they happen, and built-in license and qualification checks helps you make sure you keep your shifts covered by qualified CNAs, LPNs and RNs.
Smartlinx prevents overtime costs by showing managers potential overruns and scheduling conflicts before they occur. Smartlinx lets managers see potential overtime, overruns, and scheduling conflicts before they become a costly problem. With real-time scheduling and attendance data, you can proactively adjust shifts seamlessly and keep labor costs in check—without overburdening your team or relying on agency labor.
With Smartlinx Go mobile app, your nurses and other staff can access schedules, request PTO, and swap or pick up open shifts from their mobile devices — all with oversight and approval from your managers. With accessible on-the-go communication capabilities and real-time updates, you can make sure everyone is on the same page throughout the workday. Smartlinx scheduling also makes it easy to manage employees with multiple positions and pay rates accurately and fairly.
When callouts happen, Smartlinx open shift management makes it easy to fix them quickly. Quickly identify open shifts, reach out to available employees with text notifications, and receive confirmations quickly. Smartlinx helps you fill gaps fast while maintaining control over coverage and labor costs.
Smartlinx Scheduling works seamlessly with Smartlinx Time & Attendance, HR, payroll, and compliance systems—so your data is accurate, consistent, and audit-ready. With one unified workforce and HR platform, you’ll gain full transparency and reduce manual work across your senior care workforce operations.
Census-driven scheduling automatically adjusts staffing levels as resident census changes, rather than relying on a fixed template. As occupancy shifts throughout the week, the schedule adapts with it, helping managers stay properly staffed and compliant.
Yes. Built-in license and qualification checks confirm that any CNA, LPN, or RN assigned to a shift holds a current, valid credential for that role. This helps prevent a common compliance risk: a shift getting covered by someone whose license has lapsed.
When a call-out happens, the system identifies qualified, available staff with the ability to send a notification directly to their phone, so they can claim the open shift in the same window managers used to spend making calls. Managers can see confirmations as they come in rather than working through a list one person at a time.
The most common challenges are covering last-minute call-outs, matching staff certifications to specific shifts, and adjusting coverage to match resident census and acuity, often while working from spreadsheets or disconnected systems. These gaps tend to drive both overtime costs and compliance risk.
The system flags potential overtime and scheduling conflicts as schedules are built and adjusted, rather than surfacing the problem after payroll closes. That gives managers a window to shift coverage proactively instead of absorbing the cost after the fact.
