Case Study: Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune achieves lower overtime costs and higher staff satisfaction with ShiftWizard

Streamlined workforce management drove overtime costs down while increase staff satisfaction and improving patient care

Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, a 96‑bed facility with about 2,200 employees serving over 150,000 patients, faced high agency nurse and overtime usage plus heavy administrative burden from Excel‑based scheduling. To modernize workforce management and improve staff experience, the hospital upgraded to ShiftWizard’s workforce management software in 2012.

ShiftWizard introduced role‑based access, mobile scheduling, real‑time communication, certification tracking and integrations, simplifying scheduling and onboarding across 12 departments (including all nursing, anesthesia, the ER, the nurse advice line and mental health). The ShiftWizard deployment reduced agency and overtime costs, cut the time managers spend on scheduling, increased staff satisfaction by enabling remote sign‑ups, and improved overall patient care.
