When you're in charge of emergency medicine scheduling, you know that schedules can be a very tedious job. There are a lot of moving parts, and it can take a lot of elbow grease to keep the schedule working smoothly. A proper schedule will ensure that you have adequate staff to meet your patient's' needs. However, ensuring that you have all shifts covered in your physician scheduling can be a challenge.
Shift scheduling has been a job handed down from one scheduling manager to another since the dawn of Emergency Medicine. Fortunately, with the advancement in technology, schedulers now have software to help them. Although there are a number of benefits of using web-based scheduling software for emergency medicine, below are three common ones.
Saves Time
It can take you anywhere from a few hours to a few days to create a shift schedule. The more doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff you have, the longer and more difficult physician scheduling gets. With web-based scheduling software, you can now create your schedule with a click of your mouse. The software generates your schedule and you can modify it as needed. This saves you a considerable amount of time.
Simplifies Schedule Maintenance
Emergency medicine schedules can be outdated or misplaced. Often you need to modify the schedule after you have already distributed it. This can happen when doctors swap shifts or someone calls in sick, for example. Trying to keep the original schedule up-to-date can be hard if the schedule is on a spreadsheet on the computer or a piece of paper.
With scheduling software for emergency medicine, you can publish the schedule on a website that is password protected which you can access from anywhere there is connection to the internet. It's easier to keep the schedule current when staff swaps shifts or you can give them access privileges so they can change the schedule themselves.
The changes will be reflected on the website, but you can also alert staff through their mobile devices through a calendar subscription. Since most everyone carries their cell phone, this mobile app feature is a highly-valued feature.
Allows Customization
Web-based scheduling software is customizable. There are a number of features that allow you to perform functions like color coding, organize data and automate scheduling. This makes your schedule more organized and easier to read.
Many companies trust and use web-based shift scheduling software, and with good reason. It's secure, safe, fast, accessible and reliable. It is perfect for emergency medicine scheduling since this tends to be a very busy schedule. As a scheduling manager, you have to meet the needs of both your staff and patients. With web-based scheduling software, you can simplify the process, making your life easier simultaneously.
