ShiftWizard

What ShiftWizard is

ShiftWizard is a healthcare workforce scheduling platform for aligning staffing with patient demand and managing schedules across facilities and departments. It is available on web, Android, and iOS. Staff can set availability and preferences, self-schedule, and swap shifts using the mobile app, although app access requires their healthcare organization to use ShiftWizard. Scheduling tools include demand forecasting based on historical census data and real-time events, staffing insights, coverage optimization, intraday management, and time and attendance. Live dashboards and reports offer views across teams and timeframes, while multi-facility and multi-department views support broader staffing decisions. ShiftWizard connects with HR, payroll, clinical, EMR, ERP, and other systems. Its Workday integration exchanges scheduled shifts, time off, employee demographics, accruals, timesheets, and payroll hours. HealthStream says guided implementation gets most organizations up and running in 60–90 days. Customer service is offered from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST, and the ShiftWizard Community provides documentation, webinars, and peer support. Pricing is by organization-specific proposal.
