Common questions

Is Describe an alternative to QGenda and ShiftAdmin?

Yes. Describe replaces legacy scheduling tools for emergency medicine and urgent care groups. It also covers provider payroll, performance tracking, and credentialing in the same platform.

Is ShiftAdmin ending support?

Yes. ShiftAdmin is winding down support, so groups using it need a replacement scheduling tool. Describe moves your rules, preferences, and schedules over, and groups such as Urgent Care Physicians of South Florida have already switched from ShiftAdmin.

How is Describe different?

Legacy tools mostly track availability, rules, and preferences. Describe also factors in provider performance metrics, over/understaffing and cost optimization, predicted patient volume, and billing data, and generates a publishable schedule in up to 10 minutes.

What results have groups seen after switching?

Emergent Physicians of South Florida cut scheduling time by about 85%, from 8-10 hours to 1-2 hours per schedule. Urgent Care Physicians of South Florida went from 3-5 days to about 4 hours and moved off ShiftAdmin.
