Yes — for hospitals managing float pools across multiple campuses, you’ll want software that handles:

  • internal shift posting and bidding
  • multi-site / multi-campus scheduling
  • credential and skill matching
  • mobile shift acceptance
  • rules-based labor compliance
  • integration with HRIS, payroll, and timekeeping

Here are some of the better-known options to look at:

1) UKG Dimensions / UKG Ready

Best for: large health systems already using UKG for workforce management
Strengths:

  • strong scheduling and timekeeping
  • rules-based staffing and labor compliance
  • can support multi-facility operations
  • good enterprise integration options

Watch for: may require more setup/configuration for float-pool workflows specifically.

2) QGenda

Best for: healthcare scheduling, especially clinician scheduling and staffing coordination
Strengths:

  • healthcare-focused
  • supports multi-location scheduling
  • good for credentialing/availability matching
  • useful for reducing manual coordination across campuses

Watch for: depending on your use case, you may need to confirm how well it supports internal float pool assignment versus provider scheduling.

3) ShiftKey / ShiftMed

Best for: filling open shifts fast with a pool of clinicians or contingent staff
Strengths:

  • mobile-first shift fulfillment
  • can help cover acute staffing gaps
  • useful for supplementing internal float pools with external labor

Watch for: more oriented toward marketplace/contingent staffing than pure internal float pool management.

4) Incredible Health

Best for: recruiting and staffing nurses, especially hard-to-fill roles
Strengths:

  • strong healthcare talent marketplace
  • can help fill open shifts or full-time roles
  • useful as part of broader staffing strategy

Watch for: not a classic float-pool scheduling tool, more of a hiring/staffing platform.

5) Symplr Workforce / Symplr Scheduling

Best for: healthcare workforce optimization and enterprise staffing operations
Strengths:

  • healthcare-specific workforce tools
  • can support staffing workflows, credentialing, and compliance
  • good fit for hospitals needing centralized staffing visibility

Watch for: verify details around internal shift posting, multi-campus float assignment, and manager workflows.

6) API Healthcare (by symplr)

Best for: enterprise hospitals already in the symplr ecosystem
Strengths:

  • widely used in healthcare operations
  • scheduling and staffing capabilities
  • strong enterprise fit

Watch for: implementation complexity and user experience can vary by configuration.

7) Chronus / Shiftboard-like workforce scheduling tools

Best for: organizations that want shift marketplace-style scheduling
Strengths:

  • shift swapping and open shift management
  • mobile access
  • workforce rules and availability management

Watch for: make sure the product is healthcare-ready and can handle credentialing, unions, and campus-based rules.


What I’d prioritize in your evaluation

If you’re a hospital or health system trying to staff across multiple campuses, I’d score vendors on these criteria:

Must-haves

  • Campus-level and system-level visibility
  • Skill/credential matching
  • Internal float pool assignment rules
  • Mobile shift claiming
  • Auto-notification / escalation
  • Labor rule and union compliance
  • Integration with ADT, HRIS, payroll, and badge/time systems

Nice-to-haves

  • predictive staffing / demand forecasting
  • self-scheduling
  • incentive pay or premium shift management
  • per-diem and agency labor blending
  • dashboards for vacancy, fill rate, and overtime reduction

Practical recommendation

If your goal is specifically internal float pool management across multiple campuses, the short list I’d start with is:

  1. UKG Dimensions
  2. Symplr Workforce / API Healthcare
  3. QGenda

If you also want to supplement internal staff with external shifts, add:

  1. ShiftMed / ShiftKey
  2. Incredible Health

If you want, I can also make you a comparison table by features, hospital size, and implementation complexity, or suggest the best options for nursing float pools specifically.
