### Company Launches

[### Planbase - Workforce management for modern healthcare](

**TLDR;** COVID accelerated a trend towards hybrid (in-person and virtual) care which makes healthcare delivery increasingly complex. Yet modern clinics still rely on outdated tools to manage their workforce which causes low margins and makes it hard to scale. [Planbase]( has everything modern clinics need to manage their team: capacity planning, employee scheduling, availability management, credentialing and payroll.

### **🚀 Progress: 800+ clinicians in 6 weeks**

Since launching with our first customer, we've reduced their time spent scheduling by 70% and enabled a 40% increase in patient visits.

Planbase is now used by 800+ clinicians across all 50 US states and LATAM.

**Here’s what our customers have to say:**

> _Wanted to let ya'll know how kick ass and amazing Planbase is as a tool for us. Complete game changer in the way we are operating and how we are streamlining some of our new operations._

### **❌ 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.

### **✅ Planbase: 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 our 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.
