Planbase: AI workforce management for healthcare
Planbase has everything health clinics need to manage their team in one place: capacity planning, employee scheduling, credentialing and payroll.
Problem: Healthcare staffing has become more complex
Modern providers now operate with a combination of in-person visits and asynchronous chats across multiple states, time zones, payors, specialties and employment types (contract & permanent), with many employees now working remotely. This, combined with rising labor costs, makes it difficult for healthcare practices to scale profitably.
Solution: All-in-one workforce management for healthcare
- Simple scheduling that matches patient volume: Predict patient volumes across states, service lines and visit types. Determine the precise number of providers, align this with their availability, and dynamically adjust schedules.
- Easily manage remote teams: Allow providers to claim shifts, request leave, track their time, and submit availability with a self-serve Slack App.
- Credentialing in one place: Track and manage credentialing across states, EMRs, and payors.
- Payroll built for healthcare: Simplify payroll with automated calculations for industry specific pay rules like on-call, per diem and per-consult pay.
Progress
Since launching with their first customer, Planbase has reduced time spent scheduling by 70% and enabled a 40% increase in patient visits. The platform is now used by 800+ clinicians across all 50 US states and LATAM.
