PerfectServe’s Lightning Bolt Scheduling: Automating Efficiency
PerfectServe’s Lightning Bolt Scheduling utilizes a sophisticated rule-based algorithm for automated schedule creation. This translates to:
- Balanced and Efficient Schedules: Lightning Bolt generates provider schedules that are balanced, complete, and consider individual preferences. This can lead to improved provider satisfaction and work-life balance, as evidenced by a nearly 30% increase in engagement scores in one anesthesiology department after implementing the solution.
- Reduced Scheduling Time: The time spent creating and publishing schedules can be drastically reduced. In the same anesthesiology department, pre-Lightning Bolt, schedule creation took 70 hours per month, which dropped to a mere 14 hours after implementation. This translates to significant time savings for administrative staff.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Lightning Bolt goes beyond just provider schedules. It can improve overall operations, as demonstrated by a 55% increase in vacation request approval rates in another group.
TeamBuilder: Predictive Scheduling for Ambulatory Care
TeamBuilder complements PerfectServe’s solution with its predictive staff scheduling platform, specifically designed for the ambulatory care setting. TeamBuilder offers:
- Reduced Administrative Burden: Managers can experience significant time savings, with TeamBuilder reducing schedule creation and management time by up to 64%.
