Emergency medicine scheduling is a delicate process that requires quite a bit of patience and more than a little hair-pulling along the way. Then there are the invariable requests for days off or shift changes that come along once the schedule has been made.
Shift scheduling can occupy a huge chunk of time for busy administrators. Unless you’ve invested in software to help the process along for all your physician scheduling, resident scheduling, nurse scheduling, and more. These are just a few of the benefits ER scheduling programs offer overworked and unappreciated administrators, like you.
Frees Your Calendar for More Administrative Activities
Once you’ve loaded all the parameters, scheduling programs can do in a matter of seconds what would have taken you days (or even weeks) to do on your own. This frees up your time for more productive actions that are pertinent to your role and beneficial to the emergency department as a whole.
Automates the Scheduling Process
Shift scheduling for any emergency department can be challenging and time-consuming. ER scheduling software automates the process of creating the schedule, amending the schedule, and distributing the schedule so that everyone is on the same page about the schedule, their shifts, and who is supposed to be where at a given time. It also can integrate payroll processing to simplify finances and minimize or reduce errors, in addition to incorporating provider scheduling throughout a hospital network.
Places Responsibility for Shift Changes on the Staff
Rather than spending hours trying to hammer out last-minute scheduling adjustments, the right ER scheduling program can place the onus on the staff to find replacements for shifts when they want time off. It has the ability to allow providers to request shifts off or vacation time. This means you’re not spending countless hours making sure you have adequate staff in place to meet the demands of different shifts.
Intuitive and Easy-to-Use
A massive ER scheduling program learning curve would be counterproductive. After all, scheduling the work of emergency providers is complex and multifaceted on its own. The best ER scheduling software and programs are intuitive and easy-to-use, so you can get on with your other duties rather than spending days or even weeks learning how to make the software work for you.
Automates the Holiday Rotation Process
It would be great if everyone could have every holiday off that they desired. That simply isn’t the case in emergency medicine, which is why software that automates the rotation process makes the entire system work fairly for everyone, improving job satisfaction and reducing turnover in your emergency department. It also keeps your office free of chronic complainers who are disgruntled about their holiday shift assignments.
