MDsyncNET has developed an infographic that outlines the ways that lack of visibility into physician schedules is costing your hospital money:
Poor communication: Outdated schedules lead to more calls to the wrong providers, an increase in inaccurate switchboard transfers, and slower message delivery time.
Decreased patient safety: Inaccurate scheduling can lead to patient leakage, higher readmission rates, and lower reimbursements.
Poor employee utilization: Manual processes lead to more FTEs due to increased switchboard calls, more training time, and more time creating and reporting on schedules.
Lower physician retention: Increased physician frustration leads to higher recruitment costs, greater locum tenens needs, and higher onboarding costs.
Higher staffing costs: Manual scheduling can lead to increased overtime, higher rates of burnout, and lower productivity.
In contrast, cloud-based scheduling software increases schedule visibility.
MDsyncNET’s web-based physician scheduling software delivers four advantages: it provides a single source of truth; allows for shift tracking for auditing and EMTALA compliance; supports contract negotiations; and reduces labor costs.
