Medical staff scheduler software

Physician Scheduler® 6.0

Leading doctor call scheduler software program

Physician Scheduler® 6.0 is a new scalable version of AtStaff's market-leading medical staff scheduling software. This new version of the Physician Scheduler software offers exciting new features for medical staff scheduling. This new web based medical staff scheduling software offers the most advanced and comprehensive functionality in its market space. The web based software Physician Scheduler, is the most widely used medical staff scheduler software in the healthcare industry. According to Beth Pickard, president and chief executive officer of AtStaff, Inc. "Specialty physicians across the U.S. rely on it to automate the demanding, time-intensive process of scheduling based on their complex rules and requirements, and to ensure equitable physician call and workload."

A few key features of Medical Staff Scheduler Software - Physician Scheduler 6.0 include:

• Interactive medical staff scheduling over the Web
  
  With the new release, medical staff schedules, medical staff reports, changes to medical staff schedules, and requests for medical staff are accessed, viewed and updated in real time over the web based software interface.
  
  This advancement in medical staff scheduling, introduced in our AtStaff® enterprise solution, enables a truly interactive experience between the scheduler and medical staff, improving accuracy, time management and decision-making for all parties.
  
  In addition, medical staff gain wireless access from any Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or handheld device that can connect to the mobile. Through this new feature, medical staff have immediate access to their medical staff schedule.
  
  
• Enterprise scalability
  
  The 6.0 release of Physician Scheduler is powered by the same scheduling engine utilized in the AtStaff enterprise solution for hospitals and IDNs. As a result, Physician Scheduler is now the ideal fit for the stand-alone medical group as well as the sizeable hospital specialty medical staff department that schedules both physicians and other medical staff members across multiple facilities.
  
  
• Enhanced tool to equalize workload
  
  With enhanced Percent of Rotation functionality, the medical staff scheduler will be able to schedule medical staff for certain shifts or locations at a defined percentage of their working hours.
  
  
• Skill-based scheduling capability
  
  Medical staff will now be able to be scheduled and staffed on certain call shifts based on their applicable skills. This is especially helpful for specialty physician groups in anesthesiology and radiology.
  
  
• Real-time alerts and messaging
  
  Another innovative element of Physician Scheduler 6.0 is a new monitoring device that's continuously in force to provide the medical staff scheduler with real-time scheduling alerts and staffing messages.
  This new medical staff scheduler monitoring and messaging capability, called MDDashboard™, keeps the medical staff scheduler immediately apprised of fast-evolving events, such as incoming medical staff scheduling requests and urgent notifications that may influence schedule effectiveness and equitability.
  
  With MDDashboard, all alerts and messages are displayed front and center, in condensed fashion, whenever the medical staff scheduler logs on to the Physician Scheduler medical staff scheduling system.
  
  
• Improved reporting and display functions
  
  The new medical staff scheduler software release also incorporates new-and-improved reporting and display functions that enhance day-to-day decision-making and printing capabilities.
  
  

A powerful way to improve medical staff efficiency and effectiveness

Introduced in 1993 as a software application designed by physicians for physicians, Physician Scheduler medical staff scheduler software quickly became the market's dominant medical staff scheduling software.

More than 15,000 physicians in the U.S. now depend on the software to automate all critical aspects of medical staff scheduling, from ensuring the right skill coverage at multiple locations while balancing assignments and call schedules, to consolidating, blocking and limiting specified assignments, and integrated late-breaking requests and changes.

Whenever medical staff scheduling changes are made, Physician Scheduler delivers accuracy and control through alerts that warn of any potential conflicts and errors, such as double-booking, under-staffed facilities and personnel incompatibilities.

A detailed medical staff scheduling availability window provides a complete summary of available and unassigned physicians, along with all staff profile and assignment information, so schedulers can quickly assess scheduling scenarios and find replacements if needed.

Physician Scheduler's medical staff scheduling software communication and messaging component, Physician Scheduler Web®, allows medical staff to participate interactively over the Web in the development and refinement of their schedules, improve time management, and collaborate with colleagues.
