We’ve developed a lot of specialised forms. Can Nightingale accommodate them all?

Yes. One of Nightingale’s big advantages is how it works with your organisation to fit your needs. Our easy-to-use form builder accommodates your specific documentation requirements.

How long does training take? Does it cost extra?

Training for your team is built into the price. Once we’ve installed Nightingale and tested integration with your systems, we arrange staff training and also give them access to our Nightingale University online learning portal. The number and type of training sessions will vary depending on your staff group, their location and availability.

Our Customers tell us that Nightingale really is easy to use, however we’re available to offer support if anyone gets stuck. We offer a number of tech support options including 24/7 phone support.

Can we integrate Nightingale with our finance and other systems?

Nightingale is flexible and fits with your current systems as much as possible and we have proven integrations with a lot of popular systems. Depending on your systems, it’s possible some custom configuration will be needed. It’s best to talk with us about this so we can provide the best advice right from the start.

Which funding systems are compatible with Nightingale?

Originally designed for NDIS and WANDIS functionality, Nightingale has been successfully communicating with the NDIS online portal since the start, giving you absolute confidence on meeting expectations for client support plans, outcomes, goals, financial reporting, invoice data and case notes.

Because of its flexibility, we adapted Nightingale to be fully compliant with My Aged Care and we integrate with the DEX reporting system.
