Community Medical Centers was facing a familiar healthcare challenge. Regardless of how well structured their schedule was, they were still finding it difficult to stay on top of the gaps caused by call outs, sick leave, and vacation schedules.
You can see how they overcame this challenge in the full case study here, but their situation is not unique. At Andgo, we speak to healthcare scheduling leaders everyday, and this challenge comes up in nearly every conversation.
Clinical and staffing teams spend hours building the perfect schedule, then spend twice as long trying to make it actually work and compensate for the unexpected.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. While your UKG software or even trusty spreadsheet does a great job creating schedules, it wasn’t built to handle real-time changes (last-minute call outs or filling vacant shifts) without a lot of manual work.
At Andgo, we don't replace your scheduling system. We're what happens when your schedule meets the real world.
We're Not Here to Fix Your Schedule. We're Here to Save It.
Most healthcare leaders know this reality: Even well-made schedules can have gaps from the start. And then more staffing holes appear after it’s published.
Your existing scheduling tools excel at creating the master plan. They're fantastic at organizing shifts, managing preferences, and building that initial framework. But what happens when:
It is in moments like these where your staff needs to step in and fill the gap. However, your nurse supervisor may find themselves tied to the phone for long periods of time trying to fill these last-minute vacancies. Andgo steps in precisely at this moment - not as another scheduling platform, but as the intelligent layer that ensures your carefully crafted schedule doesn't fall apart.
The Hidden Crisis: When Good Schedules Go Bad
You publish a schedule on Friday. By Monday morning, 20% has already changed. By Wednesday, you're running a completely different operation.
Traditional scheduling tools treat the schedule as a finished product instead of a living document that needs constant, intelligent adaptation. That's exactly the gap Andgo fills.
How Andgo Transforms Your Schedule from Static Plan to Dynamic Solution
Think of Andgo as your schedule's intelligent autopilot. While your scheduling system creates the flight plan, we handle all the real-time adjustments that keep you on course.
When your schedule hits turbulence, here's what Andgo does automatically:
Instant Gap Detection: The moment a shift opens, Andgo identifies all qualified candidates based on your specific rules and union requirements.
Intelligent Communication: No more phone trees. Andgo reaches the right people through their preferred channels with personalized shift offers.
Seamless Response Management: Staff can accept, decline, or bid on shifts instantly. Every response is automatically captured and tracked.
The Real ROI: Time, Money, and Sanity
Let’s talk numbers. The average nurse manager spends one day per week managing schedule changes - that's 200+ hours annually that could be spent on patient care or strategic planning.
With Andgo, those hours get returned to your most valuable work. Plus:
