edusched

What is edusched?

Customized scheduling solutions for health science programs.

Automated, path or preference-based, self-scheduling, schedule planning, calendars, and more.

Innovative

eduSched uses advanced, state-of-the-art algorithms, processes, and intelligence to generate better timelines amid thousands of determining factors.

Efficient

The Schedule Planner interface simplifies the planning of clinical schedules for groups of students.

With experience

The team has over 10 years of experience scheduling higher education programs. eduSched is the accumulation of all these years of experience applied to the health science education sector.

Compatible

eduSched works closely with other eMedley solutions so your program can easily handle documentation requirements and get a complete picture of how students, clinical instructors, and sites are doing in offices.

Powerful

Manage all facets of the scheduling process in a single application, from preferences and capabilities to matching and reporting.

Versatile

eduSched is designed to support all types of scheduling using a modular approach so that each program has the functionality it needs, with support for custom modules.

Characteristic of edusched

Student preferences

Students can enter preferences for clinical locations and/or preceptors using an interfactive map of available placements.

Scheduling Calendar

Manage students' daily schedules in a familiar calendar format, with options to see the schedules of a specific student or an entire cohort.

Student Agenda

Allow students to view their previous, current, and future schedules from within the app and export the clinical website and preceptor information.

Preceptor Timeline

Allow preceptors to see your students in one place and filter by date, student, and rotation.

Capacity Tracking

Manage and track the number of slots a site or preceptor will occupy for a specific rotation and given period of time. Use this information when scheduling to see which vacancies have been filled or still available.

Capacity keywords

Specify keywords (i.e., FCFS, nights only) in capabilities that can then be searched by administrators when adding schedules or by students when entering preferences.

Scheduled Mail Merge

Send everything from programming details to personalized thank you letters to preceptors and contacts of the location where students were placed using a robust direct mail interface.

Ad-Hoc Reports

Create, print, or export custom reports with schedule, student, preceptor, and clinical location data using a comprehensive yet simple report builder.

Add-Ons

Multi Preceptor Rotations

Assign multiple preceptors to a rotation scheme or allow students to select their scheduled preceptor when they are on the clinical site.

Report of gaps / schedule overlaps

With edusched review overlapping rotations and intervals between rotations to check students' schedules.

Regional Management

Assign students, clinical locations, and faculty directors to regions to delegate scheduling responsibilities by geographic location.

Required rotations

Specify the rotations that need to be scheduled during the year for each cohort of students. This feature works together with the student's preferences.

Rotation prerequisites

Define prerequisite rules for rotations. These rules are applied during scheduling, but can be overridden by administrators.

Site Schedule

Allow site administrators to view previous, current, and future schedules and view documentation for scheduled students.

Planning schedules has never been easier

Visualize

View schedule placements for a specific cohort, allowing you to quickly see which students and time periods still need to be scheduled. Assign colors to rotations for easy identification.

Accompany

With edusched track which schedules have been approved by the clinical center and leave notes that can be consulted later.

Publish

Publish schedules when they are finished to make them visible to the assigned student and preceptor.

Accumulate

Get the student, preceptor, and clinical site data without having to leave the interface. Easily view basic contact information.

Eliminate the heavy lifting of programming

Preference-based programming

Automatically place students on schedules based on their preferences for time period, location, preceptor, and available capabilities.

Path-based programming

Define the possible rotation paths and capabilities, have students set their preferences, and eduSched will automatically put students on the best path.

Student Self-Adjustment

Allow students to schedule themselves only in time periods, rotations, and with clinical locations/preceptors that have available capacity.

Scheduling requests

Allow students to find the preceptor and clinical location they want to schedule and submit requests to be approved by an administrator.

Optimized Scheduling

The optimized scheduling service was created specifically to help health science education programs schedule rotations with intricate rules.

Make the most of your schedules

Curriculum

Track your clinical rotations as courses and map them according to goals and standards.

Documentation

With edusched allow students to share documentation with the clinical centers and preceptors with which they are programmed. Allow clinical centers to specify the documentation that students need to provide if they are scheduled.

Evaluation

Assign assessments to published schedules for a specific class and time period. Report completed assessments and filter by period, student, preceptor, and location.

Tracing

Simplify the clinical screening process by automatically populating the period, rotation, clinical location, and preceptor in students' case records based on their current schedule.
