_Who it's for_

## Capacity includes travel, visit time and continuity.

A gap between appointments may not fit another visit once travel and visit time are counted. Managers review capacity across teams. Schedulers check whether each clinician has time for another visit.

_How it runs_

## Referrals, clinical visits and service records.

_[ 01 ]_

### Referral requirements

Record discipline, visit type, location, and the priority supplied with each referral, therapy plan, or clinical visit request.

_Illustration: Skedulo card for Epic, a custom integration: its E monogram in purple, Connected, 2 data flows. A care team assignment in Epic, Carol Ng for home health, syncs in real time and becomes visit VISIT-4879 in Skedulo, Thu 14 Aug at 10:00 AM. Then the booked visit goes back to Epic as the appointment, 1 synced in 0.7 seconds._

_[ 02 ]_

### Clinician allocation

Match clinicians using credentials, availability, travel, caseload, continuity, and the patient’s appointment window.

_Illustration: Skedulo best-match card for JOB-4821: Gloria Benitez ranked first with a 96 match on a pale green row, 10 minutes added and 1.9 miles from #4830, then Doug Lindqvist at 81, 26 minutes added and crossing territory, and Bridget Hanley at 64, 38 minutes added with her shift ending at 3:30 PM_

_[ 03 ]_

### Travel and appointment planning

Group visits geographically while keeping visit duration and recorded clinical priority in view.

_Illustration: Skedulo Analytics tile: the North region's travel per job, a blue line over twelve weeks from 25 June to 10 September - steady near 37 minutes, rising to 46 up to a new route plan marked on 13 August, then back to 37. Dashed averages read 43 minutes for the four weeks before the plan and 38 for the four after, and the headline turns from 43 minutes, up 15%, to 38 minutes after the plan, down 12%._

_[ 04 ]_

### Visit details on Mobile

Clinicians can view appointment details and care instructions, complete forms and record progress notes and measurements on Mobile.

_Illustration: Skedulo mobile home visit form card: the question Fall since the last visit? is answered Yes in rose, and a dashed section opens under it with the approved escalation in amber - call the clinical lead before you leave - then Clinical lead called is ticked and Follow-up needed is chosen as Doctor review within 24 hours_

_[ 05 ]_

### Cancellations and reassignment

Caseload views show the time released by a cancellation and support review of possible reassignments.

_Illustration: Skedulo mobile visit record: Attended? answered No, cancelled, and the section it opens - Cancellation reason, Unwell on the day, and the comment the worker types: Daughter called at 8:40am - resting at home, GP visit booked_

_[ 06 ]_

### Visit records and recorded time

Integrations can share visit and follow-up records with clinical and administration systems, and recorded time with payroll, billing and reporting workflows.

_Illustration: Skedulo integrations card, Connected: the Skedulo mark in the middle of a small map, Salesforce (work orders) and Workday (worker details) wired in on the left, Salesforce (job status) and Finance (invoicing) wired out on the right. A packet runs each wire in turn - the request that becomes JOB-4803 in, the clinicians' hours and leave in, the completed visit back to Salesforce and on to Finance for invoicing - and each wire stays lit_

_Tempo_

## Review the caseload with Tempo.

Explore assignment options and prepare visit updates with Tempo alongside your coordinators. It uses the records, actions and approvals enabled for your team.

[Meet Tempo](https://www.skedulo.com/product/tempo/)

_Illustration: Skedulo Tempo answering a wound pump alarm from its issue: Ray Tanaka's negative pressure wound therapy pump has lost its seal, and the clinical manager wants a nurse trained on wound pumps there within 2 hours. The issue lands in red on a blank screen and becomes the task's header; Tempo reads his call, today's nursing caseloads and his plan of care, and the context panel opens on the pump and the nurses' load. Tempo weighs three nurses, picks Ingrid Sattler, sends her to Ray for about 11:20 AM, moves her routine 11:30 AM visit to 2:30 PM and texts Ray her arrival_

_Illustration: Skedulo card for JOB-4803, completed Wed at 5:21 PM, and its work going out with nothing left to export: the job status to the Salesforce work order at 5:21 PM, the completed work to Finance for invoicing at 5:22 PM, and Gloria Benitez's approved hours, 7.25, to Workday on Thursday at 8:30 AM - 3 sent, each ticking green in turn._

## NJRA grew from 15 to 20 accounts per therapist.

- **Before**
  - Manual weekly Excel schedules, with therapists visiting 5–8 locations a day.

  - Secure mobile workflows replaced faxed paperwork, backed by Skedulo’s privacy and security program.
- **Outcome**
  - Accounts per therapist grew from 15 to 20.
  - 20% year-over-year growth for three years running.

> Our ability to schedule efficiently is necessary to provide high-quality care and service … We were shocked to see the effect Skedulo had in enabling us to do more with less. These benefits extended beyond just our mobile workforce. We saw greater efficiency in our back-office operations, invoicing, and sales.
>
> — Greg Pino, VP Operations and Sales, NJRA

- **+33%** — more accounts per therapist, serving 100+ skilled nursing facilities

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can Skedulo schedule nurses and therapists by discipline and credential?

Yes. Clinician records hold disciplines, credentials and expiry dates, and Skedulo considers them with availability, travel and caseload for nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy visits. Required skills can be set on each visit, so schedulers see which clinicians hold them, and expired credentials are flagged.

### How does Skedulo balance caseloads across clinicians?

Review each clinician's assignments, available time, travel, and recorded discipline requirements before moving visits. Tempo can help prepare options; the clinical service determines suitability and priority.

### Can continuity, travel and patient availability shape the schedule?

Yes. Consider established care relationships, travel, and patient appointment windows alongside visit requirements. Review those constraints when visits change.

### Does Skedulo work for contract therapy teams covering multiple facilities?

Yes. NJRA's respiratory therapists serve more than 100 skilled nursing facilities and often visit five to eight locations a day. After replacing weekly Excel schedules with Skedulo and Salesforce, NJRA grew from 15 to 20 accounts per therapist, a 33% increase.

### Can clinicians keep working without mobile signal?

Yes, for supported offline actions. Mobile saves those changes on the device and syncs when connectivity returns. Check the forms, extensions, and connected actions your clinicians use, as some require a connection.

### How does Skedulo connect with our clinical systems?

Keep clinical documentation and billing in the systems you use for them. Skedulo coordinates visits and mobile work, with configured integrations and an extensible platform for additional operational processes.
