Avantas is an Omaha, Nebraska-based company recognized for proven best-practice work strategies for the health industry.  We solve one of the biggest issues facing healthcare today: Managing People Resources.  We achieve this through three broad categories of products and services: Technology, Academy and Healthcare Staffing.  Avantas Work Strategies were developed to deliver immediate margin recovery and long-term financial savings.  By focusing on the most crucial areas, healthcare organizations can realize continual and quantifiable improvement by creating value with regard to staffing and scheduling activities.  Blending state-of-the-art technology and sound business processes, Avantas Work Strategies create a precise balance of labor supply to patient demand across the client enterprise, regardless of size or geographic location.

Avantas Work Strategies have been instrumental in successfully moving both single site and growing multi-entity hospital systems away from a fragmented nurse scheduling and staffing model.  The Avantas approach and tools have resulted in increased productivity and dynamic ROI tied to the utilization of appropriate nursing resources.

In the current environment of very constrained resources with respect to manpower and payment, Smart Square is an essential tool for nursing managers, providing them with up-to-date costs and opportunities for savings.
