Facility Onboarding

Understanding Facilities in the Nursa Ecosystem

In the Nursa ecosystem, a Facility represents a physical location where healthcare services are provided, and for which job offers (shifts) are posted. These facilities can vary widely in type, including but not limited to:

• Long-term care facilities: Places that provide extended care for individuals who require assistance with daily activities or medical needs over an extended period.
• Hospitals: Comprehensive healthcare institutions that offer a wide range of medical services, from emergency care to specialized treatments.
• Departments within clinics: Specific areas within a clinic that focus on particular types of care or medical services, such as cardiology or pediatrics.
• Intensive Care Units (ICUs): Specialized departments within hospitals that provide critical care and monitoring for patients with severe health conditions.

The Role of a Facility User

A Facility User is an individual with the permissions to manage and post shifts for the facilities they are associated with. However, it's crucial to note the following:

• Facility Users cannot post shifts for themselves: Their role is to manage and post shifts on behalf of the facilities they are connected with.
• Posting shifts is restricted to connected facilities: For security and operational reasons, a Facility User can only post shifts for the facilities they are officially connected to.

Connecting Facility Users to Existing Facilities

To ensure proper management and accountability, the process for connecting a Facility User to a facility involves several steps:

1. Connection Requests: Facility Users must request to be connected to a facility.
   • In order to do that you need to Search for the Facility.
   • Request Connecting your User to the Facility.
2. Admin Approval: These requests are reviewed and must be accepted by Nursa Admins before the connection is established.

Creating New Facilities

Similarly, the creation of new facilities within the Nursa ecosystem follows a controlled process to maintain data integrity and operational security:

1. Facility Creation Requests: Facility Users can request the creation of a new facility.

   • If you couldn't find your Facility, Request Facility Creation.

   Request Parameters:

   Parameter	Type	Description
   name required	string	Name of the facility
   type required	string	Type of the facility (e.g., Long Term Care)
   category required	string	Category of the facility (e.g., Assisted Living)
   numberOfBeds required	number	Number of beds in the facility (between 0~999)
   streetAddress required	string	Street address of the facility
   cityName required	string	Name of the city where the facility is located
   zipCode required	string	Zip code of the facility in ##### or #####-### format
   stateCode required	string	State Abbreviation of the facility in ANSI standard
   county required	string	Name of the county where the facility is located
   contactPhone required	string	Telephone number of the facility in +1########## format
   specialty required	string	Name of the facility specialty
   websiteUrl	string	Website URL of the facility
   billingInformation required	Object	Object containing BillingInformation
   ├─ contactName required	string	Name of the contact
   ├─ contactEmail required	string	Email of the contact
   └─ contactPhone required	string	Telephone number of the contact in +1########## format

2. Admin Processing: These requests must be processed and approved by Nursa Admins before the facility is officially added to the system.
   • The upside of this approach is that the newly created Facility will automatically have the requesting User connected.

This structured approach ensures that all facilities and their associated users are properly vetted and approved, maintaining the high standards of the Nursa platform. By following these procedures, we can provide reliable and efficient staffing solutions for a wide range of healthcare settings.
