The complete medical staff scheduling solution

Staff scheduling and work schedule management at medical facilities, clinics, and hospitals present many challenges. Determining a work schedule for physicians and their staff that is fair and efficient is not trivial. There is a variety of job positions that require specific skills and different work schedules. A unit in a healthcare facility may prefer pattern scheduling where the staff commits to work a set number of shift types (day, evening, night) in a given time period while other departments may choose preference scheduling where the staff defines individual preference for shift types. Staffing a medical facility needs to make sure each shift, case, and unit has the right mix of skill sets and qualifications. Balancing the schedule across full-time, intern, and floating staff is time consuming.

Snap Schedule medical staff scheduling software helps administrators and office managers meet these challenges. It is packed with powerful shift scheduling features and gives you instant access to key decision-making criteria, including staffing requirements, regular, overtime and on-call hours, labor costs, employee skills and certifications, employee availability and preferences, and more.

“Now with Snap Schedule, it is extremely easy for me to quickly implement any requested changes and generate the new schedule. I can just click and drag in order to swap shifts. In no time at all I can have an up-to- date schedule ready. I no longer have to retype entire schedules, like I had done in the past using the old system, saving me a lot of time and tons of stress.”
