Hospitals rely on scheduling systems that do the following to manage their staff:
Streamline and simplify staff schedules
Track employee time during their shifts
Notify staff members about changes to their schedules
Prevent staff members from picking up or clocking into shifts they’re not qualified for
Let staff members know when their time off requests have been approved or denied
Avoid overtime costs by notifying supervisors when a staff member is approaching overtime
Depending on their needs and priorities, hospitals may opt for team management tools like Homebase or use scheduling features that are part of dedicated medical practice management software.
