Description

METHOD AND SERVER SYSTEM FOR PUBLISHING AND APPLYING FOR A VACANT SHIFT ANNOUNCEMENT

The present embodiment relates to a server system and an operating method thereof for posting and supporting a vacancy change notice through a communication network, and more particularly, to a method and a server system for posting and supporting a vacancy change notice through the Internet.

The healthcare system is constantly evolving, adapting to technological and structural changes. Despite these changes, the general structure of the system has remained relatively constant for many years. Healthcare services are primarily provided in hospitals, which are divided into clinical departments such as surgery and pediatrics, and auxiliary departments such as laboratories, microbiology departments, and hospital pharmacies. Another constant feature of healthcare is the structure of the professional workforce. This includes surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, operating room nurses, ward nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, and microbiologists. These specialized skills require extensive education and training, requiring highly complex knowledge and skills. Because these skills are expensive and offered only in specialized schools and universities, the limited number of these staff and the shortage of skilled professionals are a problem in many countries.

This situation also applies when considering night shifts. Hospital departments must be managed by at least one physician and a dedicated nursing team. This situation applies not only to hospital departments but also to hospital ancillary departments (e.g., pharmacy, laboratory). Hospitals and healthcare facilities frequently struggle to staff night shifts due to the limited availability and high demand for specialized healthcare professionals such as physicians, nurses, and technicians. This situation can disrupt the operations of individual departments and the entire hospital. For example, an immediate shortage of physicians or nurses (e.g., illness or temporary instability) requires a quick replacement. However, this is difficult to achieve using traditional recruitment methods such as job websites or staffing agencies. This can impact the quality of patient care and overall hospital operations.

Staffing shortages can arise from recruitment difficulties or random events, such as illness or temporary absences, and can disrupt the operations of individual departments or the entire hospital (for example, one hospital unit may play a critical role in providing services to patients in many other units, such as radiology facilities). Therefore, attracting and retaining a large potential staff base is a priority to mitigate the impact of random events.

Modern communication tools like online recruiting websites allow individual healthcare organizations to find new employees through online job postings. However, typical online recruiting portals are inconvenient. Users must create detailed job descriptions for each job posting and provide full address and contact information. Furthermore, each job posting requires a separate hiring process, followed by a standard interview and a new employment contract. While these web services are suitable for full-time employment contracts, they can be problematic in dynamic environments, such as night shifts, where schedules can vary from month to month and week to week. In these cases, the time required for alternative recruitment processes is limited to a few days, and traditional recruiting processes may not be suitable.

Therefore, in the rapidly changing environment of night shift work, when recruiting for vacant positions, job search websites often require detailed information such as work dates, department, and hospital (e.g., address, name, contact phone number, applicant's experience requirements, and preferred medical specialty), making it difficult to quickly fill positions. Furthermore, even if this information is available, maintaining a large pool of shift workers is time-consuming and error-prone for large hospitals with multiple departments and frequent night shifts. Furthermore, the process of reviewing multiple candidates and creating new contracts for individual night shift positions can be burdensome for designated recruiting units. These units must individually coordinate and track each job offer and conduct a formal recruitment process to respond to each application for a night shift medical position. This can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially in emergency situations where rapid turnover is required.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a system and method that can eliminate all of the steps mentioned above and enable healthcare institutions, such as hospitals and clinics, to efficiently and effectively recruit staff for night shift vacancies. This system allows authors, such as department managers or regular physician staff, to create shift announcements that can be distributed to a network of partner hospitals. The system also facilitates the easy tracking and coordination of shift announcements, enabling the recruitment of staff required for each night shift. All of these solutions streamline the recruitment process and enable healthcare institutions to efficiently and effectively deploy night shift staff.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for posting a night shift vacancy notice.

The client system is provided with an identifier that identifies the announcement creator.

The client system displays the night shift schedule and provides information on the actions that the notice creator must take to post the identified vacant shift notice in the schedule date area (e.g., a single action notice posting button that appears when the mouse cursor is hovered over that day).

When the specified action is performed, the client system sends a request to the server system to post an advertisement for the provided identifier and identified vacancy shift.

The server system generates an advertisement for the selected vacancy shift using additional information associated with the identifier of the advertisement creator included in the request. This information is used by the website script. Therefore, when the server system receives a request from a client system, it effectively posts the vacancy shift advertisement by combining the additional information associated with the identifier of the advertisement creator included in the request.

The server system streamlines the recruitment process by allowing the job creator to set the job posting coverage settings to limit the visibility of the job posting and ensure that only suitable and relevant candidates can view and apply for the job posting.

The server system allows the job posting creator to set an expiration date for the posting, ensuring that the posting is only visible to potential applicants for a limited time. The server system also provides an automatic application acceptance feature, allowing the job posting creator to automatically accept qualified applicants without manual review and approval.

The present invention provides a method and system for single-action vacant shift announcements in a client/server environment. The present invention enables an announcement creator to make an announcement in a single action, thereby reducing the number of interactions and steps required for the announcement process.

Here, "night shift" refers to a day's work that can be performed within the hours defined by a department of a medical institution, and although it is defined as a night shift, it does not distinguish between day and night. A "shift" can be performed by any medical professional in a department of a medical institution. An "announcement creator" refers to an employee who creates a new shift announcement. In this specification, an "announcement creator" may be referred to as a "generator." Similarly, the terms "vacant night shift," "vacant shift," and "shift" may be used interchangeably.

In one embodiment, the server system assigns a unique identifier to each announcement creator within each department of a healthcare institution. The server system also stores information for each creator, including announcement information, specific roles, and permissions. This information can be obtained from the healthcare institution to which the creator is assigned and/or from the department administrator of the healthcare institution.
To create a vacant shift posting, the creator uses the client system to request information about the department's calendar work schedule and sends the creator's user identifier. The user identifier represents a personal ID, and the creator represents the specific person for whom the posting is being created. Therefore, the creator identifier is a unique identifier assigned to that specific person. The server system checks the creator's user identifier to determine if the creator is a department employee. If so, the server system checks whether single action publishing is enabled for the creator. If so, the server system sends the requested information and a single action representation to the client system. This allows the creator to easily post a vacant shift posting in a single action. The server system adds department-specific vacant shift posting information, provided by the medical entity or department settings, to create a night shift posting linked to the work schedule calendar. This information is linked to the department's work schedule calendar, which is the source of the single action posting. Therefore, when the explanatory preview of the job posting appears, the creator can immediately post the vacancy shift posting by clicking the Confirm button. The explanatory preview is set by default to prevent mistakes that can occur when posting creators make the job posting.

A method and system for posting a single-action shift announcement according to one embodiment of the invention is described together with the drawings below.

Figure 1a is a schematic diagram of a web page screen according to one embodiment of the present invention. This web page includes a department selection section (101), a calendar navigation section (102), a calendar section (103) filled with a date field (104), and a details section (105). Figure 1b is a schematic diagram illustrating details of the department selection section (101) among web page elements according to one embodiment of the present invention. The department selection section (101) includes the names of each medical institution (101a) and a list of its departments (101b).
In Fig. 1b, when the name of the medical institution (101a) corresponds to the surgical clinic building, the list of departments (101b) such as orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, thoracic surgery, and pediatric surgery are shown as examples.

Figure 1c is a schematic diagram illustrating details of the calendar section (103) and calendar navigation section (102) for one embodiment of the present invention. The calendar navigation section (102) includes month and year date fields (102a) that allow navigation to specific months and years. The "Create Vacant Shift" button (102b) allows the creation of a new vacant shift announcement. The employee menu (102c) allows access to and management of employee information and settings. The calendar section (103) displays a calendar including multiple date fields (104).
FIG. 1d illustrates an example of a number of date field variations (104), which may include a date section (104a) that displays the night shift date, a shift section (104b) that displays night shift information including the night shift start and end times and the number of available seats and the doctors already assigned to that night shift, and a notice button section (104c) that is a button for managing vacant shift notices.

FIG. 1e is a schematic diagram illustrating details of a detailed section (105) of one embodiment of the present invention.

The details section (105) may include various information depending on the item selected in the details navigation menu section (105a). For example, if the user selects the "Vacancy Shift Announcement" option, the details section may include a message section (105b) that displays a confirmation message for the vacancy shift announcement to the user. This is used to display a message confirming the vacancy shift announcement to the user. The details section (105) may also include a vacancy shift preview section (105c) that displays the details of the vacancy shift announcement and an additional settings section (105d) that configures additional settings, such as the announcement scope and expertise requirements. These sections may additionally include elements with different names, and may be omitted or rearranged. Further details regarding another embodiment of the invention will be described below.

delete

Hereinafter, a method for generating an announcement by a announcement generator of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 1E.

The creator of a job posting first selects a department (101b) and employee type (102c) to display the intended calendar work schedule. Next, the creator clicks the "Create Vacant Shift Announcement" button (102b) and then clicks the desired calendar date field to create a night shift announcement. As a result of this single action, the announcement's details appear in the Preview section (105c), and the announcement is automatically published within a defined timeframe (e.g., 30 minutes) unless the creator clicks the "Publish Now" button in the Additional Settings section. The purpose of this delay is to provide the creator with time to review the created announcement and make changes or cancel the announcement.

delete

Single-action posting allows creators to post an announcement with a single click of the mouse. Typically, regular employees (such as doctors or nurses) who post announcements with a single action would need to know the calendar date to select and the single action to confirm the announcement.

If the creator has permission to create night shift announcements for multiple departments and employee types, the creator will need to know which departments and employee types have these permissions to create the announcement accurately. The Details section (105c) provides a vacancy description that identifies and describes the vacancy shift announcement created in a single action. The website script generates a preview of the vacancy shift announcement and displays it in the Details section. This preview may include a summary description, a detailed description, and general department settings for single-action vacancy shift announcements.

The Preview section (105c) of the Details section displays contact information, work history details and other relevant information so that you can review and confirm the accuracy of the selected date.

Next, the operation of the date field (104) will be described with reference to FIG. 1d. When the announcement creator selects the date field (104), the client system requests the server system to post a vacancy change announcement. After the server system processes the request, the website script generates a preview of the vacancy change announcement in the preview section (105c) of the details section.

If the job posting creator has not enabled the single-action job posting feature, an additional confirmation message (105b) (e.g., "This night shift posting requires approval from your department head") may be displayed above the preview section (105c) in the description section. The server system may restrict users from using the single-action job posting feature based on their job type, experience level, or position. The vacancy preview section (105c) in the details section may display multiple night shift posting previews even if the job posting creator created multiple job postings at the same time (during a website usage session). This allows the creator to post, edit, and change additional settings for all postings at once.

delete

The server system may restrict the ability to use the single-action vacancy posting feature based on the user's job type, experience level, or job title. For example, a website script may enable the single-action posting interaction only for the date field (104) and only if single-action posting is enabled for that user identifier on the client system. The calendar view of a web page generated by the web script may include multiple date fields, but only the selected date fields that are enabled for the single-action posting interaction are available. The website script may selectively include or exclude the single-action posting interaction for the selected calendar date field (104), allowing the creator to select the dates on which the single-action posting interaction is enabled.

delete

In the Additional Settings section (105d), the creator can immediately post a vacancy notice posted in the preview with a single click of the mouse. When the creator clicks the "Post Immediately" button in the Additional Settings section (105d), the notice is posted immediately. However, if the department settings require the creator to perform additional tasks (e.g., require approval from the head of the relevant department), the notice may not be posted immediately.

delete

Below, in one embodiment, is a description of the settings that an announcement creator can adjust when posting an announcement.

When posting a single-action announcement, the creator can adjust settings to control which applicants and departments can view the announcement. This can include departments within the same healthcare institution as well as departments from other healthcare institutions. The term "coverage" refers to the range of applicants who can view the announcement. Other terms that can be used interchangeably with "coverage" include "reach" and "visibility." For example, the creator can adjust settings to limit the reach or visibility of the announcement. This can be determined by factors such as whether the announcement is only visible to applicants within the creator's healthcare institution, whether applicants with the same or similar specialties are restricted, or whether multiple healthcare institutions have agreed to group the announcement so that only applicants from those institutions can view the announcement.

delete

A prior agreement between these various medical institutions may define the group of applicants who will be able to view the advertisement, and this may be established in advance by the management of the medical institution from which the advertisement was issued.

Help settings allow job creators to control the visibility of their postings and ensure that only qualified and relevant candidates see them. For example, the hiring team can contact the applicant's department manager for additional information, enabling a more accurate assessment of the applicant's skills and suitability for the position.

Coverage settings allow job posting creators to limit the visibility of their postings to specific healthcare providers or features. This ensures that only qualified and relevant candidates can view the posting, enabling the recruitment process to be streamlined. Coverage settings also facilitate staff rotations between mutually agreed-upon healthcare providers, as these providers have predefined procedures for staff rotations. While the default visibility settings can be determined by the healthcare provider's administrator, creators with appropriate permissions can override them.

For example, the creator can change the visibility of a posting over time. Specifically, the creator can make the posting visible only to applicants from the same medical institution for a set period of time, and then expand the posting's visibility to applicants from other medical institutions when that period expires.

Specifically, the additional settings section (105d) in FIG. 1 allows the creator to complete the creation of the announcement and adjust various settings, such as access and visibility levels, time limits for each view range, etc. That is, the web script checks whether the creator can change the additional settings options, and if the creator has the appropriate permissions, the web script displays the additional settings options for the created announcement. If the creator wants to check or modify the announcement's access range or visibility level and/or time limits for each coverage level, he or she can select the "Settings" button within the additional settings section (105d). If the "Edit Details" button is selected, the script displays web page content that displays the coverage settings that the creator can change if he or she has the permissions.

In one embodiment of the present invention, coverage settings can be used to designate a group of applicants to be automatically accepted for vacant shift postings. This can be done if the medical institution or creator has the authority to perform the task. The automatic application acceptance feature expedites the hiring process by allowing the posting creator to designate a group of applicants from a defined department or medical institution. This feature can be applied only to employees of the medical institution with which the posting was previously agreed upon or to employees in the department to which the creator belongs. For example, enabling the automatic application acceptance feature only for applicants employed at the medical institution with which the posting was previously agreed upon can expedite the application process. If a physician from another medical institution with which the posting was previously agreed upon applies for a posting at their institution, their application can be automatically accepted without further approval. This enables efficient shifting between participating medical institutions.

delete

delete

Additionally, the auto-accept feature can only be enabled for applicants in the same group employed by the same medical institution as the job posting creator. In this case, applications from applicants in that group will be automatically approved without further approval. For example, if two doctors in the same department have signed a work-over contract, one doctor can give priority to the other. In this case, if the auto-accept feature is enabled only for applicants in the same department, their applications will be automatically approved without further approval.

Next, FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a client system and a server system according to one embodiment of the present invention. The server system (210) is a networked computer system that manages the data and logic of the website and includes a server engine (211) that receives and processes requests. Additionally, there is a user database (212) containing user data, job postings, and medical institution details, a shift posting database (213), a shift posting applicant database (214), a shift database (215), and a medical institution database (216). The server engine (211) uses these databases to process requests from the client system (220) (e.g., requests to create a shift posting or to search for vacant positions). These databases may be organized by user, shift, or medical institution. For example, the user database (212) may contain information about medical institution employees, including names, profiles, and career history. Through these databases, the server system (210) can efficiently manage and organize necessary data for shift postings and applications. Additionally, you can manage other elements that make your website function.

When a user accesses a website using a computer or mobile device, the server system (210) transmits a single-page application (SPA) script to the client system (220). The SPA script is software that runs in the user's web browser and is used to support real-time communication between the client system (220) and the server system (220). To achieve this, the SPA script uses API requests in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. These requests allow the SPA script to create and update web pages within the client system (220) based on information stored in the server system's (210) database. This allows the user to interact with the website in real time. For example, when a job posting creator performs a single action used to create a shift posting, the SPA script sends an API request to the server system (210) via the communication link (230) to store the new posting. This allows other users currently viewing the calendar to see the new shift posting in real time, and the job posting creator can immediately update their shift schedule. This real-time interaction between client and server systems enhances the usability and effectiveness of websites for managing shift announcements and support.

delete

The user database (212) contains detailed information about healthcare workers (name, profile, department, specialty, financial background, etc.), providing useful information to both the job creator and the shift applicants. The shift database (215) may contain general information such as the date and time of work, available medical staff, etc. On the other hand, the shift announcement database (213) may contain a record of each created announcement, including a description, contact information, and settings (e.g., compensation and automatic approval functions). The shift announcement applicant database (214) contains a detailed record of each application submitted by the applicant staff, including the name, profile, and job background, as well as the status of the application and the communication history between the job creator and the applicant. The healthcare institution database (216) records all information about the healthcare institutions in detail, including their department, specialty, and default settings for newly created announcements, as well as mutual agreements or other relationships between the healthcare institutions.

The client system (220) includes a client ID (222) that enables communication between the client system and the server system (210). The client system (220) also includes a single page application (SPA) script (221), which runs in the user's web browser to enable real-time communication between the client system (220) and the server system (210). The client system (220) also stores the client ID in a "cookie" or "internal storage" file of the Internet browser for later use. Typically, the server system 210 assigns and transmits a client identifier when the client system 220 first logs into the server system. Thereafter, the client system includes the client identifier in all messages that the single page application (SPA) script transmits from the server system 210. This executes the single page application (SPA) script 221 that is transmitted from the server system (210). It runs in the user's web browser and enables real-time communication between the client system (220) and the server system (210).

delete

The single-action posting method described above can be used in various environments other than Internet browsers, along with other website technologies. For example, the method can be implemented using a server-side rendered website instead of a single-page application (SPA) script or an application programming interface (API) request. Furthermore, single-action posting can be used as part of a healthcare organization's local IT software environment. This could include, for example, the shift posting component of a professional night shift scheduling software or a telemedicine consulting software service used as a night shift replacement. Furthermore, various communication channels, such as a local network or intranet, can be used.

In all such cases, the server system (210) may include any combination of software and hardware capable of performing a one-time action to generate a shift announcement, and may also include any combination of software and hardware capable of interacting with the server system (210). For example, the client system (220) may also include a smartphone app or various other consumer products capable of generating and publishing a shift announcement.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a one-time posting function can be initiated using various input devices, such as a mouse, touchpad, or touchscreen. This allows the announcement creator to quickly and easily create a shift announcement, and allows the announcement creator to select the device most convenient for use. These single-action announcements can be initiated by clicking or tapping a designated button on the website and are characterized by their easy user access and intuitive design.

To enable single-action announcements, the server system must obtain the announcement creator's information from the government and/or healthcare institution (301). This includes the announcement creator's job title and department affiliation. The server system verifies that the announcement creator has the necessary permissions to post a vacancy shift announcement using the "Post Single-Action Announcement" button (302). This is an authentication process. This process may include checking whether the announcement creator is a full-time employee or director and verifying their departmental superior position. The server system also verifies whether the announcement creator can post the announcement on the date selected by the announcement creator. For example, if the announcement creator is a physician, the server system can verify whether they are assigned a daily job that allows them to work on that date. If the server system has permission to post a single-action announcement, it sends a message to the website script that activates the "Post Single-Action Announcement" button on the web page (303 and 304). If the notice creator is authorized to easily create a shift notice with a single click, the server system sends a message to the website script that activates the single-action notice button, allowing the notice creator to easily create a notice via the single-action notice button (303, 304). If the notice creator does not have permission to post a vacancy shift notice, the website script prompts the notice creator to perform additional verification steps to create a vacancy shift notice (303, 305).
The server system (210) then requests the creation of a shift announcement. This may include verifying the details of the shift announcement. For example, it verifies the date, time, and required specialty, and stores the announcement in the shift announcement database (213). The server system (210) then sends a notification regarding the created shift announcement to the relevant medical institution and/or department. This notification may include shift details, such as the date, time, and required specialty, and may be sent via other communication methods, such as email or text message. The server system (210) also updates the shift database (215) containing the details of the newly created shift announcement. This allows the shift database (215) to track available shift information and provide it to interested third parties, such as applicants or other medical institutions. The website script (221) then updates the web page content with the newly created shift announcement, making it easily viewable and accessible in real time to applicants in the calendar section (103). This allows potential applicants to view and apply for shift postings.
Next, Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating the scope of applicants that can be received when an advertisement creator posts a single-action advertisement according to one embodiment of the present invention. The server system receives and stores the scope setting information specified by the advertisement creator, and displays the default scope information to the advertisement creator (400 and 401). This causes the server to check whether the advertisement has a scope setting or a scope setting time and send a message to the advertisement creator providing information about the default scope setting range or time setting. The server system then checks whether the advertisement creator can modify the visibility and time coverage settings of the advertisement, and if so (example 402), sends a message indicating these settings to the advertisement creator. The advertisement creator can adjust these settings as needed (402 to 405). That is, the server system then checks whether the advertisement creator has permission to modify the visibility and time coverage settings of the advertisement. If so, it sends a message to the website script indicating these settings to the advertisement creator. The advertisement creator can adjust these settings as needed. If the user does not have permission to use the single-action announcement feature (402 No), the server system 210 sends a message to the website script to disable the announcement visibility settings and prevent the announcement creator from modifying them. In this case, the announcement will be visible with the default applicant range and time range settings when posted. Alternatively, if the announcement creator has permission to modify the announcement's retention and time range settings, the server system sends a message to the website script to allow the announcement creator to modify these settings (405). In such cases, the announcement creator can limit the announcement's retention to specific medical institutions or specialties or set a time range for accepting applications. The server system updates these modified settings in the rotation announcement database (405). After the settings are complete, the server system instructs the web script to allow the announcement creator to publish the announcement with the modified settings (406). The announcement is then added to the announcement notification database and becomes visible to potential applicants who meet the specified retention and time ranges. This allows for a more targeted and efficient hiring process, ensuring that only qualified and relevant candidates see and apply for your job posting.

Next, Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method and system for accepting applications from applicants for a job posting according to one embodiment of the present invention. The server system determines whether the job posting creator has the necessary authority for automatic application acceptance (501), and if so, sends a message to the website script to activate this function (502). If the job posting creator has the authority to change settings, the server system can modify the settings for automatic application acceptance (504) and post the vacancy notice with the updated settings (505). If the job posting creator does not have the authority, the server system determines whether automatic acceptance is permitted using the default settings provided by the medical institution and provides this information to the client system (503).

FIGS. 6 through 10 illustrate the operation of the client system (220) in the first embodiment, and FIGS. 11 through 12 illustrate the operation of the client system (220) in the second embodiment. A single-page application (SPA) script generates a screen, such as FIG. 6, for generating a scan of the present invention. This screen allows the advertisement creator to select a department from the department selection section (101) (e.g., surgery, internal medicine, emergency medicine) that appears on the left side of the screen. The year/date field (102a) allows the advertisement creator to select a desired month displayed on the screen. The advertisement creator can select an employee type or click on an employee's name on a selected calendar date to view employee information in the employee menu (102c) of the calendar navigation section (102). The calendar section (104) within each date field displays the names of the current department employees and applicants assigned or accepted for the shift on that day. If a single-action advertisement has been created on that day, it is displayed.
For example, as shown in Figure 7, if the job posting creator selects the "Orthopedics" department and "Doctor" from the calendar navigation menu, the job posting creator can view information about the physician staff in the Orthopedics department. This information includes the department's hierarchy, such as department heads, department heads, specialists, and residents. The job posting creator can also select fields for each employee to view personal information, such as contact information, primary care, specialty, and work experience. For a vacancy shift posting, the SPA script can display the applicant's personal information, such as personal address, personal phone number, and education, to the hiring team members. Similarly, if the job posting creator selects "Nurse" from the employee menu, the SPA script can display information about the nurses working in that department.

Accordingly, when the job posting creator clicks the "Create Vacancy Shift Announcement" button in the calendar navigation section (102), the script displays the screen shown in FIG. 8. This screen allows the job posting creator to view employees and applicants for the vacancy announcement on the specified date. For example, FIG. 8 shows the shift schedule for October. As shown in FIG. 8, selecting an exact date allows the user to view employees and applicants for the vacancy announcement on the specified date. For example, colors are used to indicate that additional staff are needed on October 1, 12, 14, 29, 30, and 31, 2022. This allows the job posting creator to easily identify the days when additional staff are needed and take appropriate actions, such as setting retention for the vacancy announcement. The use of colors in FIG. 8 is merely a method of displaying information and is not limited thereto.

Additionally, Figure 8 shows the screen displayed when the job posting creator clicks on the 12th to create a vacancy shift posting. The Details section (105) on the right side of the screen displays the message "The vacancy posting was created on the selected date, October 12, 2022, and will be posted in 30 minutes" in the Message section (105d). At this point, the job posting creator can view the vacancy shift posting details in the Vacancy Sheet Preview section (105c) located below the Message section. The information displayed in this section may include contact information, experience level, specialty requirements, and the type of personnel needed (e.g., physician, nurse, etc.). The job posting creator can click the "Post Now" button to post the job posting immediately, the "Edit Details" button to edit the details of the job posting, or the "Cancel" button to cancel the job posting. If the job posting creator modifies the details, they can change the information displayed in the Vacancy Sheet Preview section (105c). For example, you can change the date and time of the sheet, the specialty requirements, and the employee type (e.g., doctor, nurse, etc.). You can also select the required experience level and coverage of the applicant (e.g., same department, same healthcare institution, different healthcare institution) to limit the target group of users who can apply for the vacancy notice. After making all the desired changes, the notice creator can click the "Publish Now" button to publish the revised vacancy notice immediately, or click the "Save" button to save the changes and continue editing later. However, if the notice creator does not have permission to publish a single-action vacancy notice, an additional confirmation message (e.g., "This sheet notice requires approval from the department head") will appear in the vacancy sheet preview section (105c) above the message section (105b). In this case, the notice creator can click the "Request Confirmation" button to submit the vacancy notice for the department head's review and approval.

Figure 9 shows the vacancy announcement for October 12, 2022, posted in the Details section (105) when the announcement creator clicked the "Post Now" button in Figure 8. The section also displays contact information, including contact information, contact email address, career history, and scope of employment. The announcement creator can also change settings on this screen by clicking the "Edit Details" button in the Additional Settings section (105).

In Fig. 10, the notices generated so far are displayed in the details section (105). Specifically, it shows that notices for October 1, 12, and 14, 2022, were generated. In addition, the SPA script (221) can display an 'Edit Details' or 'Cancel' button in each date field (104) on which the notice was generated. When a user selects a specific notice from the list of notices generated in the details section (105), the details of the notice are displayed so that the notice creator can review and edit them. In addition, the posting can be completed by clicking 'Create Vacancy Shift Notice' in section (105b). The above has described a method for posting a single-action vacancy sheet notice using a client system (220) that uses the SPA script (221) based on information transmitted from the server (210).

Figures 11 and 12 are schematic diagrams of client system screens illustrating a method for applying for a job posting according to the present invention. This method involves accessing a server where a job posting is posted using a user terminal, such as a computer or smartphone. Figure 11 shows the screen displayed on an applicant's client system after the job posting creator posts a single-action vacancy posting. This screen displays the posting date of the posting and allows the applicant to select the date on which they wish to apply for the vacancy. Applicants can select the desired date on this screen to apply for the vacancy. For example, as shown in Figure 11, if the hospital's job posting creator posts the 1st, 4th, 12th, 14th, 24th, 29th, 30th, and 31st of the calendar, these dates will be immediately displayed on the screen displayed on the applicant's client system (220). This allows the applicant to easily view and select the desired date. When a user selects a date for which they wish to apply for a single-action vacancy announcement (the 12th in Figure 11), the SPA script displays the 12th day's job posting content in the details section (105). The job posting content includes details posted by the job posting creator, information about the external medical entity and department, contact information, a contact email, and work experience requirements.

Figure 12 illustrates a screen where an applicant confirms an application for a single-action vacancy. In this case, the message "Your application for the selected vacancy was confirmed on October 12, 2022" appears in Detail Section 105. Application details are displayed below this message, and in some cases, SPA script 221 may indicate that the applicant can cancel their application for the single-action vacancy. In Figure 12, when an applicant applies for a single-action vacancy shift announcement, the server (210) transmits information to the client system (210) of the hospital announcement creator, which then confirms the application on the creator's behalf and transmits confirmation information back to the server (210). This ensures that the applicant's application is properly processed and confirmed.

The present invention provides a method for supporting and verifying job postings in healthcare systems, such as hospitals and clinics. This method involves accessing a server hosting job postings using a user terminal, such as a computer or smartphone. The server receives the postings from the healthcare system and displays them on the user terminal, allowing applicants to view available positions. Applicants can select a medical institution and date that best suits their needs and preferences.
A SPA script is a program running on a user terminal that facilitates communication and coordination between applicants, the server, and the hospital's job posting creator. The SPA script receives job posting content from the server and displays it on the user terminal for applicants to view. Applicants can confirm their applications on the user terminal, and the server transmits the application information to the hospital's job posting creator. The hospital's job posting creator verifies the application on its own behalf and sends the confirmation information to the server, updating the applicant's application status. This method provides a smooth and efficient process for applying for and confirming hospital job postings. The use of the user terminal, server, and SPA script provides a user-friendly and automated application process, saving time and effort.

Finally, Figure 13 is a BPMN chart illustrating the overall process of posting and supporting a vacant shift announcement according to one embodiment of the present invention. First, the announcement writer at the primary healthcare institution reviews the calendar shift plan (B1). Next, if they wish to create a vacant shift announcement, they do so using a single action function (B2, B3). This announcement automatically appears in the calendar view of all healthcare institutions using the same website or application (B4). For example, secondary healthcare institutions can apply for the created announcement (B5). Furthermore, the server processes each application (B6) and forwards it to the primary healthcare institution (B7). If the healthcare institution has a suitable mutual agreement (B8), the applicant is automatically registered for a confirmed shift application (B9), and an approval message is immediately sent to the secondary healthcare institution (B10). Alternatively, the applicant's profile is forwarded to the responsible office for review (B11, B12). In this case, the human resources department of the primary medical institution is responsible for evaluating the candidate's profile (B13). The candidate evaluation process varies across medical institutions, and in some cases, the head of the primary medical institution may conduct the evaluation (not shown). If the review is approved (B14), the application is forwarded to the primary medical institution's department (B15), and the applicant is automatically approved (B16) and transferred to the alternate (B17). If the application is not approved (B18), information including the disapproval is forwarded to the primary medical institution's department (B19). The applicant's application for the alternate is then automatically rejected (B20), and a rejection message is sent to the affiliated medical institution (B21). Thus, a mutual agreement for the alternate is reached (B22).
