As we discussed in The Necessity of Internal Moonlighting, you can regularly need some extra manpower to maintain turnaround times or mitigate misery without the need for a full additional FTE shift on the schedule (or, alternatively, where you do need some real shiftwork but don’t want to press people into service without additional reward).
Take this recent article about “Surge” staffing in radiology as described in Radiology Business:
On-service radiologists utilize Microsoft Teams to contact available nonscheduled rads during periods of heavy demand. Team members who are available then can log on remotely and restore the worklist to a “more manageable length,” logging their surge times in the scheduling system in five-minute increments. Compensation is based on the duration of the surge and time of day when it occurs.
Just-in-time overflow help is an important use case of internal moonlighting, and doing this with less friction is exactly what LnQ is trying to facilitate and streamline.
