Medical & Hospital Employee Scheduling and workforce Management

Scheduling Software for Medical facilities and Hospitals

The very nature of medical staff scheduling demands the utmost efficiency when it comes to managing scheduling for staff and physicians at medical offices, hospitals, home health services, medical centers and other medical care facilities.

While some medical facilities focus exclusively on certain types of medical care, others deal with ad hoc emergencies as part of their normal operations. Some medical practices and institutions engage in community awareness and prevention programs to help educate the public on various medical concerns, and all of these activities have their own scheduling demands.

With so many positions and skill requirements to meet, there is no room for anything less than total staff organization, especially when the staff count reaches into the dozens, hundreds and even thousands, operating 24/7 and covering hundreds of shifts.

ShiftPlanning's custom installation and set-up allows every medical staffing demand to be met. Whether there are two or three shifts to cover in each 24-hour cycle, and taking into account the individual needs and preferences of each staff member, ShiftPlanning provides the powerful scheduling tools you need to cover a multitude of shifts, needs and expectations every day, efficiently and easily.

ShiftPlanning's medical and hospital staff scheduling program puts real time data at the scheduler's fingertips. Managers always know the availability of qualified personnel, staff preferences for particular days, shifts and units, and union and regulatory requirements. ShiftPlanning provides the tools necessary to keep track of staffing reports, regulated ratios and all of the demands that medical services must meet.

Bottom line: ShiftPlanning streamlines hospital and other types of health care staff scheduling, which translates to better patient care and less overtime, while assuring that all staff needs are met and ultimately.
