How to Cut Costs and Scale Healthcare Operations with a Modular Physician Scheduling Software

Physician burnout is at an all-time high. Labor costs are rising. Can your healthcare operations scale without sacrificing care?

In healthcare, agility and efficiency are critical to improving patient outcomes and ensuring the financial sustainability of your organization. Hospitals and clinics are increasingly using cutting-edge physician scheduling software to optimize schedules, reduce clinician burnout, and manage workforce challenges effectively. The physician burnout rate is at an all-time high, making smarter scheduling a strategic imperative.

Smarter Scheduling, Stronger ROI: The Power of Modularity in Healthcare

Leading organizations such as CityMD and Summit Health have turned to Intrigma for its modular scheduling platform. This system allows facilities to activate only the specific modules they need—from residency scheduling software features to on-call scheduling solutions ensuring both efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

CityMD: From 30 to 150 Sites - Without Adding Scheduling Staff

CityMD, the largest urgent care provider in the New York metro area, faced challenges when using disjointed scheduling systems. Medical directors were investing 5–10 hours a month manually creating their urgent care schedules by hand—time that could have been better spent on patient care.

With Intrigma’s modular physician scheduling software:

• Two non-clinical administrators centralized scheduling across 30 locations.
  
• As CityMD expanded to over 150 sites, the same lean team efficiently managed the entire workload.
  
  

The Benefits of Healthcare Workforce Management Software

• Reduce costs by 50%+ by shifting scheduling from clinicians to trained admin staff—freeing providers to focus on patient care.
  
• Easily manage permissions and access with centralized control tools that scale with your organizational growth.
  
• Reducing total time spent on scheduling and the handoff to administrative staff frees up clinical leadership time for physicians.
  
  

“We cut labor costs by over 50% just by consolidating scheduling roles.”
— Dr. Daniel Frogel, Chief Medical Officer, Summit Health
