News Facts
- Productive Scheduling Solutions was founded in 2005 by physicians – bringing together the vision of two seasoned anesthesiologists with technology to automate physician scheduling.
- Productive Scheduling Solutions is widely recognized for its EZCall® software-as-a-service (SaaS) employee scheduling solution designed to automate the process of scheduling for physicians, hospitalists, academic practices, advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants.
- EZCall is highly differentiated by its next-generation platform that combines an easy-to-use, intuitive interface with flexible rules-based configurable scheduling capabilities.
- Available through iOS and Android mobile applications, the solution makes it easy for clinicians and administrators to manage their schedules from any location at any time.
