Healthcare Staff Scheduling

The very nature of medical staff employee scheduling demands the utmost system efficiency when it comes to managing scheduling and creating accurate work schedules for staff and physicians at medical offices, hospitals, home health services, medical centers and other medical care facilities. Staying in contact with all your employees is incredibly important as well in the effort to improve your patient care and provide a viable solution for constant care.

While some medical facilities focus exclusively on certain types of medical care and staffing, others deal with ad hoc patient emergencies as part of their normal operations. Some medical practices and institutions engage in community awareness and prevention programs to help educate the public on various medical concerns, and all of these activities have their own scheduling demands.

With so many positions, employee and skill requirements to meet when it comes to finding a solution for medical staffing, and so many schedules to create in the healthcare industry, there is no room for anything less than total staff organization, constant contact and perfect scheduling practices, especially when the staff count reaches into the dozens, hundreds and even thousands, operating 24/7 and covering hundreds of shifts.

Humanity’s custom installation and set-up allows every medical staffing demand to be met, giving you a better view of your needs. Whether there are two or three shifts that employees need to cover in each 24-hour scheduling cycle, and taking into account the individual needs and preferences of each staff member, Humanity provides the powerful scheduling tools you need to cover a multitude of shifts, needs and expectations of every day, efficiently and easily.

Humanity’s medical and hospital staff scheduling program puts real time data at the scheduler’s fingertips.

Humanity provides the tools necessary to keep track of staffing reports, regulated ratios and all of the demands that medical services must meet with their schedules.
