• Eliminates Schedule-Related Overtime or Shortages – Unintended overtime and shortages costs emergency facilities money – a lot of money. While occasional overtime or shortages, due to call ins and such, are inevitable, software eliminates them from the actual schedule.
Benefits for Providers

• Allows Exporting of Schedules to Mobile Devices – Giving physicians the option to export their schedules to their mobile devices and automatically to their calendars eliminates mistakes that are commonly made when copying schedules by hand.
• Makes Online Requests for Shifts, Time off, and Vacations Possible – This streamlines the process saving time and energy for administrators and providers while also resulting in fewer misplaces, lost, or forgotten requests.
•Gives Physicians Options to Manage Availability, Requests, and Confirm Shifts – The easier you make it for physicians to manage their availability, the happier they are going to be about the process.

With benefits like these, it’s difficult to imagine how busy emergency medicine departments handles their physician scheduling needs before the software existed.
