If you’ve been feeling like you are caught in a whirlwind every time you sit down to create your emergency room physician schedule, get yourself back on solid ground by investing in emergency room scheduling software. This software can truly simplify your job, improve the satisfaction of the doctors, nurses, and other medical staff you are creating schedules for and improve the care and treatment of the patients in the emergency room.
Here’s a more detailed look at how shift scheduling software for emergency rooms can benefit you, your staff and the emergency room.
Alleviate Scheduling Issues
If your current approach to physician scheduling includes a pencil, paper and a date book, you know how difficult meeting the needs of your staff and the emergency room can be. It’s time to come out of the dark ages and start using shift scheduling software. You won’t believe how much it will alleviate all of the issues you’ve had in the past. No more shuffling through a date book, erasing, making phone calls to find coverage.
With emergency medicine scheduling software, you can see everyone’s availability at a glance and create and make changes to the schedule with the simple click of a button.
Easy Access to Schedules
With scheduling software, all of the physicians and other personnel that you create schedules for can easily access their schedules. There’s no need to check bulletin boards or to check for email updates; all the staff needs to do is login to the software’s portal to see what their schedules are. This can be done from a computer, a Smartphone or a tablet from anywhere across the world!
Simplify Modifications
With antiquated methods of creating schedules, you would have to scramble to make adjustments to the schedule should someone need a sick day, there was an emergency, or you didn’t see a request. With scheduling software, you can quickly and easily make those modifications. Someone needs to take their child to the doctor? They can call for help on the portal and a shift can be swapped. There’s no more scrambling to make sure there’s coverage.
