Nurse on-call coverage for care homes
Nurse on-call number
To make the emergency number easy to share, create and publish a single nurse on-call number, however many care homes share the on-call rotation.
The single nurse on-call number is then known across all participating care homes, so staff can reach the on-call nurse at any time during the night or weekend, without revealing nurses' personal or work phone numbers.
Nurse on-call schedule
Planitel is a phone schedule that, combined with your single nurse on-call number, forwards calls to the on-call nurse according to the date and time slot.
The phone schedule is built quickly and easily, months in advance, from a web interface, with all the nurses who may be on call.
Nurse on-call
Planitel offers many options for cascading call overflow, voicemail and SMS alerts, both at the start of an on-call shift and for unanswered calls.
If a nurse is absent or changes phones, the schedule can be updated in real time from anywhere through secure web access.
This access also lets you view nurse on-call call statistics.
