Schedulers can view an accurate overview of the providers that are available and unavailable for a shift that needs to be filled, allowing them to make the choice quickly, especially in an urgent situation.
If someone calls out sick and the scheduler needs to fill a shift as soon as possible, all of the availability and unavailability information is presented for them in one place.
Schedulers can send an automated email to all providers who are available for the shift with the click of a button.
They can also avoid the tedious task of tracking down contact information and calling multiple providers to find out if they’re available to fill empty shifts.
Make smarter decisions when filling empty shifts, using the information shown about provider vacation time and the status of other shifts.

At Kaiser South Sacramento in 2014, physicians responded to a call with the Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) efforts for the landslide in Washington. The department needed to quickly find coverage for shifts of physicians assisting with USAR efforts. The scheduler was able to quickly fill shifts using Intrigma’s system.
