What sets medishift apart

Three views in one interface: medishift shows your roster by employee, by department or as a list — so whatever question you have ("who's in today?", "is reception covered?", "who's short on hours this week?") you get the right view instantly. Shift templates and weekly templates pick up recurring patterns in one click, so you never start from scratch.

Real-time conflict detection: medishift checks rest periods, maximum hours, double bookings and existing absences while you plan. The hints don't block anything — you stay in control — but you won't miss a conflict. Configurable per location, so single practices, MVZs and larger organisations can apply the same rules to their own structure.

Team autonomy: Employees see their roster in the mobile app, request shift swaps directly between each other and pick up open shifts — without going through the lead. You as admin keep draft mode and publishing in your hands — on the web and on mobile — while the team gains visibility and flexibility.

What you actually get with medishift

medishift covers the full planning workflow: you set up departments and shift types with healthcare-specific icons, define rules per location, drag shifts into place and publish in draft or live mode. Employees get notified of changes automatically — no more emailing PDFs or updating notice boards. Open shifts can be released for self-assignment, so capacity gaps are often closed by the team itself.

The overtime ledger runs in the background: published shifts, paid absences and public holidays roll up into an actual-vs-target balance per employee, fully automatic. Vacation entitlements, requested days and remaining vacation are tracked the same way — with correct per-state holiday handling. The typical end-of-month Excel and calculator routine just goes away.

medishift runs in any browser on any device, no install, ready to use the moment you sign up. Your team uses the free scheduling app; the complex planning is most comfortable in the web app — but creating and publishing shifts works on mobile too. We host all data GDPR-compliantly in the EU with automatic backups. For background on shift-scheduling software in general — selection criteria, legal requirements, trends — see our topic hub. This product page focuses on what medishift looks like in daily use.
