Scheduling software you – and your medical staff – can trust

Can something as routine as staff scheduling software be a joy to use? It may seem impossible – after all, most enterprise scheduling software systems lack intuitive user interfaces and the ability to navigate the nuances of hospitals or other clinical environments. In other words, they come up short when dealing with the most common staff scheduling challenges.

Unlike many antiquated staff scheduling systems on the market, ShiftWizard was designed with your team in mind to bring you a reliable and user-friendly experience.

ShiftWizard seamlessly integrates with your electronic medical records (EMR) system, as well as time and attendance systems, so you can make cost-effective scheduling decisions based on real-time hours worked and service measures like hours per patient day (HPPD) and hours per patient volume (HPPV).

An easy-to-use mobile app makes it simple for employees and managers to see what is happening in real-time and operate more efficiently. For example, with just a few taps, managers can check staff schedules, view open shifts, and track overtime. Meanwhile, this user-friendly scheduling app allows medical staff to compare shifts, request time off, or easily swap shifts.
