Better management of medical schedules with Swappy Swappy

The management of medical staff, a challenge for health institutions

In addition to his job as a caregiver, the health professional must tackle a good number of ancillary missions, including the organization of his medical teams through the implementation of schedules.

Within hospital structures, private clinics, medical analysis laboratories or pharmacies, the management of medical schedules represents a major lever to ensure the fluidity of patient care, an optimal quality of care but also the improvement of the quality of life at work.
Depending on the care structure, creating a schedule is a complex and time-consuming task. Staff expectations, number of slots, skills, respect for working hours, holidays, and distribution of appointments over the week are all parameters to be taken into account when developing the schedule. To this can also be added other constraints specific to health facilities and each of the people involved.

This complexity increases exponentially with the number of professionals, so that managing a team of 10 people spread over three slots per day represents more than one million possibilities of scheduling arrangements in a single week.

A growing need for specific and optimized tools

This planning management can quickly be very time-consuming when the tools used are not adapted. However, the majority of institutions still create their schedules today thanks to non-specific tools. Errors are likely to be generated with more or less important consequences, such as an insufficient number of professionals to perform a medical act or a mismatch between the qualification of the health professional and the act to be performed, for example.

As these processes are not optimized, the time is wasted considerably. Other planning solutions have been released, but these software have not been specifically designed for the medical sector and do not offer automated scheduling based on unlimited constraints. Result? The constraints specific to health professionals are not taken into account and the organization is not effective.

To be able to focus on the act of care, health professionals have an increasing need for help in managing their medical schedules.
