Case Study: Firelands Regional Medical Center achieves streamlined multi-department scheduling and major time savings with ScheduleAnywhere

Firelands Regional Medical Center Simplifies Scheduling Across Multiple Departments

Firelands Regional Medical Center is a 424‑bed integrated healthcare system in Ohio serving about 300,000 residents and nearly 2,600 staff. Supervisors struggled to schedule more than 2,000 employees using unsupported software and paper processes, which produced confusing printed schedules, missed updates, double‑bookings, misplaced shift trades and time‑off requests, and manual staffing counts that risked improper coverage and unnecessary overtime.

Firelands replaced its old process with ScheduleAnywhere, providing 24/7 online schedules, shared views across departments, online cover/swap/time‑off requests with automatic updates and notifications, and automated staffing calculations by shift, skill and acuity. The result was a dramatic reduction in administrative time (from hours per week to under 20 minutes per day), fewer scheduling errors and overtime costs, better visibility for shared employees, and more reliable shift coverage.
