Case Study: Sarah D. Culbertson Memorial Hospital achieves streamlined, paperless nurse self-scheduling and reliable staffing coverage with ScheduleAnywhere

Sarah D. Culbertson Memorial Hospital Refines Self Scheduling with ScheduleAnywhere

Sarah D. Culbertson Memorial Hospital is a 22‑bed Critical Access Hospital with more than 200 staff providing 24/7 emergency care, outpatient clinics and multiple specialty services. The hospital relied on a paper‑based self‑scheduling system and Excel master schedules, forcing supervisors to manually verify qualified coverage for swaps and updates — a time‑consuming process that led to frustrated staff, offsite employees being unable to see current schedules, and occasional improperly staffed shifts.

The hospital implemented ScheduleAnywhere, retaining its self‑scheduling model while eliminating paper and spreadsheets. The cloud and mobile app let staff submit requests, view availability, and propose swaps while the system tracks staffing requirements and coverage so supervisors can approve changes confidently; schedules update automatically and affected employees receive notifications by app, email or text. The solution reduced administrative burden, improved communication and helped ensure properly staffed shifts without risking unapproved schedule changes.
