Scheduling & care coordination · Home health & hospice
Cover every visit with the right clinician.
A nurse calls out and four skilled-nursing visits go uncovered across three zip codes. The scheduler rebuilds routes by hand while patients wait on plan-of-care visits.
The reality
Scheduling is a coverage problem.
Every visit has constraints: the discipline ordered on the plan of care, the visit frequency in the certification, the clinician's licensure and territory, drive time between patients, and the patient's availability. A single callout cascades into missed visits, overtime, and frequencies that fall out of compliance.
The operator owns the visit calendar — matching clinicians to orders, optimising routes, and when a gap opens, reassigning the visit to a qualified clinician and notifying both the patient and the field staff.
