Anesthesiology

Physician Scheduler^® for Anesthesiology provides the tools to manage the most complex Anesthesiology scheduling environments including large sub-specialty groups, academic centers combining resident and CRNA scheduling, and multi-location multi-hospital scheduling. We understand no two Anesthesia schedules are the same which is why we have enjoyed a successful relationship with Anesthesia Groups and Departments across North America since 1995.

Physician Scheduler can address a variety of Anesthesia scheduling methodologies including the classic Pick List for daily schedules and ensuring sub-specialties are fairly and adequately covered. Also through our Physician Portal case assignments can be posted using Assignment Notes once the next day’s OR schedule has been released and reviewed. Using the e-mail notification and group distribution feature all relevant users are notified anytime these assignments are changed.

The Physician Scheduler Difference

Since 1995 Physician Scheduler has been serving physician groups and departments with the decision to move from a manual or other type of scheduling process to Physician Scheduler in order to improve the creation, management, and communication of your schedule. By combining the time tested Physician Scheduler software with experienced consulting services we feel our methods and standards provide our customers with the best environment to make this transition quickly and effectively. The Physician Scheduler difference is our talented team of professionals working with the most reliable scheduling software available.

Implementation Methodology

As a result of Physician Scheduler being the largest scheduling product by time in the market and customer base our Consultants are the most experienced in the industry as they see a variety of scheduling methodologies across private, academic, and IDN healthcare organizations. As a result our customers benefit from their knowledge not only in the implementation and management of Physician Scheduler but when it comes to making critical scheduling decisions about workflow and policy.

Physician Scheduler provides both onsite and online implementation services as a way to offer customers choice and personalized services. Our implementation philosophy is “one customer at a time” meaning you are our only focus when we work together just as the patient is yours.

Physician Scheduler Consultants lead implementations covering as few as 10 providers and as many as 1,000 plus so we have a Consultant to fit your needs.

Steps to Go-Live

Achieving Go-Live is a primary objective because it means you begin receiving a return on your investment so all implementations begin with the Go-Live in mind working backwards to what needs to occur to ensure we hit the target date while minimizing possible bumps along the way. Our talented Consultants along with the backing of our 60 plus employees provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure these timelines are met and in the unlikely event special circumstances arise we can react and modify our approach as needed to ensure the process keeps moving forward.
