Med Schedule is a completely secure web-based software solution for nursing staff scheduling and management designed to handle the complex scheduling issues in a hospital environment. The scheduling process embodied in Med Schedule has three phases:
1. Initial Self schedule: The employee can enter preferred schedule and preferences within customizable parameters
2. Second self schedule: Employees can move themselves heavy staffed days to lightly staffed days of their choice.
3. System Administrator Juggle: Administrator does the final juggle of the staff prior to finalization of the schedule.
The above three phased approach to scheduling has proven extremely efficient and effective and Med Schedule is currently being used in practice in a growing number of nursing units at Strong Hospital at the University of Rochester.
