The Nurse Dispatcher is used by staffing agencies providing nurses to work up to 3 daily shifts at several different hospitals. It can also be used for other applications where you need to send people to work different shifts at different locations. You simply specify the locations and shifts as well as employee names and availability. Employees are assigned on individual location sheets where daily assignments for a 2-week period are made from drop-down menus showing the names of available (not-yet-assigned) employees. The program makes sure that you do not assign overlapping shifts and will alert you if a person is assigned to more than 1 shift per day.
