Development of a Multitenant Web-Based Platform for Managing Emergency Childcare Services in the Healthcare Industry

Healthcare institutions face significant difficulties in managing emergency and regular childcare needs for healthcare workers due to unpredictable schedules and long working hours. Currently, there is no dedicated platform that facilitates seamless coordination among staff, unions, childcare providers, and administration, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and increased stress for essential personnel.

A large healthcare organization providing urgent and scheduled childcare support for healthcare workers facing unpredictable and long shifts, seeking a custom digital solution to coordinate childcare needs efficiently.

• Implement features to manage and allocate childcare budgets provided by unions or the organization.
• Enable healthcare workers to input their unpredictable work schedules and match them with available childcare providers in real time.
• Facilitate tracking, scheduling, and communication to ensure timely and reliable childcare support for healthcare personnel.
• Ensure high platform availability, data security, and compliance with healthcare data regulations.
• Increase efficiency in childcare resource allocation, aiming to improve staff satisfaction and reduce response times.

• User portals for healthcare workers, unions, healthcare administrators, and childcare providers, each with role-specific access and capabilities.
• Childcare budget management system to monitor and allocate childcare funds allocated per department or union.

• Performance metrics ensuring minimal latency in matching and notifications

By implementing a tailored online platform, the healthcare organization anticipates significantly improved coordination and access to emergency childcare support, leading to reduced stress among staff, better resource utilization, and enhanced staff retention. The goal is to streamline childcare management processes, increase operational efficiency, and ensure staff can focus on delivering quality care, ultimately improving workforce satisfaction and patient outcomes.
