Physician Scheduler

"Physician Scheduler is physician scheduling software that automates the painful process of schedule creation, according to the rules of your practice. The heart of the system is the rules-based AutoStaffing engine, which makes each assignment taking into account fairness, coverage requirements, personnel conflicts, staff requests, and limits.  Individual physicians can view schedules and submit requests from anywhere over web.   

For more than 10 years, thousands of physicians across the country have relied on [ http://www.physicianscheduler.com ]Physician Scheduler to automate the demanding, time-intensive task of creating an equitable schedule based on the complex rules of individual physician groups, while ensuring an equitable share of call and adequate coverage. 

Physician Scheduler is not physician scheduling software alone.  Each system is implemented by a trained application consultant, expert in the ways of scheduling.  The application consultant works with the client to review scheduling rules, build the rules into Physician Scheduler and then comes to the client's site to train the users in how to operate the system and to keep the rules up to date.  With all the advantages of automated scheduling, it’s no wonder that over 1,500 medical groups across the country are enjoying the benefits of Physician Scheduler today."

Active Schedule

"ActiveSchedule is a web-based scheduling program for emergency medicine personnel. Our experience with scheduling software has led us to believe that software is much better and much faster than humans at certain scheduling tasks. These include compiling statistics about the schedule such as shift totals, checking for errors in the schedule, setting up the schedule template, highlighting relevant information, and reminding users about shifts. Where scheduling software has often been disappointing is in its ability to actually create the schedule. In this area, humans still outperform the computer. Therefore, we have taken out the failed functionality and kept in all the useful tools to create a program that will hopefully save you hours every month."
