The Distribute module allows you to share a real-time, read-only view of open time in your ORs to ALL credentialed providers, regardless of their access to your facilities' IT systems -- all without losing control of what is visible. Providers can then easily make requests for this time using the Distribute module's request system that eliminates the back-and-forth phone-and-fax approach without having to change your existing OR scheduling software or workflows.
Real-Time View For Everyone
Including providers that can't access your system
The Distribute module pulls availability from your OR schedule via simple-to-implement exports (with no PHI) that the system combines with providers' schedules and preferences to create an easy-to-use, read-only view of availability. This view shows only those time slots they can use. However, your scheduling team is always in control. If they close a room or shift a block, the personalized view of your availability is instantly updated for everyone.

Only hear about slots you can use
Each provider (or their designee) can also subscribe to alerts that will inform them of new availability as it arises. That way if a block holder is nudged and releases time a second provider can use, that second provider's scheduler can be updated via email or SMS text, making manual waiting lists a thing of the past.

Skip the phone calls, sticky notes, and faxes
Once a matching time slot has been identified, a provider's scheduler can create a request using the Distribute module's request system. This system prevents the slow-and-inefficient back-and-forth of phone and fax as it allows schedulers to upload all patient-related files in a HIPAA-compliant fashion. Once created, this request triggers an alert to your facility scheduling team who can then accept it and enter it into your OR scheduling system or reject it. The system handles all follow-up communication and even allows for temporary holds on time if desired.
