We piloted 4-hour CNA micro-shifts in Cleveland last week and covered 96% of same-day call-outs through the app — it cut OT by 18% and stabilized the float pool — who else is using smaller blocks to optimize weekend coverage?
We added 3-hour ADL/meal swings (6–9a, 5–8p) and a ‘no back-to-back’ rule; did you cap weekly pickups?
We got better weekend coverage by posting micro‑shifts with a 60‑minute “unit‑familiar first” window (only folks who’ve worked that unit in the last 30 days), then opening to float; acceptance went up and handoffs got tighter, though nights fill a bit slower. @lucy_p89 have you tried a short familiarity-first window?
