• Accommodation of providers’ personal preferences for increased provider satisfaction
• Ability to scale—can meet the scheduling needs of a single department or an entire health system
• Real-time access to organization-wide schedules with a mobile app that offers the same functionality as the desktop version
• Centralized request calendar with instant time-off approval

Building clinical schedules can be complex, and scheduling mistakes are a major source of dissatisfaction for providers. Lightning Bolt automatically considers thousands of variables to create the best possible schedule every time—without leaving gaps in coverage for administrators to fill. This leads to an 82% reduction in time spent managing schedules, an 86% reduction in time spent contacting on-call providers, and as much as $2.8 million in savings from reduced provider burnout that leads to improved retention.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has proven just how important it is for healthcare organizations to have a scheduling solution that can respond nimbly to changing conditions,” said PerfectServe Chief Product Officer Ben Moore. “As our Lightning Bolt solution launches in the App Orchard, we look forward to working closely with this development community to provide the kind of sophisticated, flexible, and user-friendly scheduling technology that accommodates the unique rules, facilities, and goals of Epic customers.”
