Healthcare Technology and News: South Nassau Communities Hospital Selects Amistaff's Software


South Nassau Communities Hospital has selected Amistaff Healthcare Technology’s Prophecy software to use in addition to their comprehensive pre-screening assessment and hiring process.
 
South Nassau Communities Hospital is one of the region’s largest hospitals with 435 beds, more than 820 physicians and 2,700 employees. Located in Oceanside, N.Y., the hospital is an acute-care, not-for-profit teaching hospital.
 
“The assessment tools provide the hiring manager and recruiter with valuable information to assist in ‘best selecting’ applicants for our vacant positions,” said Donna Pandolfi, R.N., director of recruitment and retention for patient care services.
 
Pandolfi said that the reports are user friendly and the interview questions provided are extremely useful during the interview process.
 
Officials with Amistaff Healthcare said that Prophecy’s three Web-based assessment tools – behavioral, clinical, and situational – test interpersonal competencies missed in traditional testing. The three assessments work together to create the most comprehensive employment predictor for the healthcare industry.
 
The company officials said that Amistaff looks forward to partnering with SNCH for on-site recordings of additional situational vignettes. The current collection of 25 assessments will be expanded to include the clinical specialties of critical care, labor and delivery and medical and surgical.
 
Amistaff Healthcare Technology was founded in 2004 as a healthcare staffing solutions provider. Amistaff creates products and services that help hospitals and healthcare staffing firms improve recruitment, retention and placement of caregivers.
 
In January, Amistaff Healthcare Technology has announced that it has selected RightSignature as the electronic signature complement for their suite of healthcare staffing solutions including NurseTesting.com, BlueSky Synergy and Prophecy Health.
 
Using the software-as-a-service model, RightSignature provides a clean, simple interface to get documents signed online. Focusing on the small and medium business market, RightSignature ensures secure and compliant signatures globally for corporations, non-profits and Web workers alike.
