PetalMD was designed precisely with you in mind. Let us help you save time balancing your competing commitments with our efficient, user-friendly scheduling software, which includes a personal calendar that strikes the perfect balance between sharing and privacy.
Based on group policies, fair distribution parameters and your constraints and preferences, the planner builds your group schedule and instantly publishes it to your personal calendar.
Save even more time if you work with two or more other medical groups that also use PetalMD—these schedules can be easily managed from your one account.
No more time wasted hunting down the latest version of the meeting schedule—your medical group assistant can use PetalMD to find the best possible moment for your next group meeting. All of your group events are automatically posted to your personal calendar.
Keep all your events in one place and help protect your work-life balance with just a few clicks. Simply block off personal time in your PetalMD calendar to automatically advise your planner, colleagues and administrative assistant that you are not available for tasks or meetings at that time.
While you can write in the nature of the personal event on your own calendar, this information is not available to others—they see only that you are booked at that time.
No schedule is set in stone—changes are a fact of life, and flexibility is a necessary condition for good living. That’s why PetalMD makes it easy to quickly trade shifts or other tasks with your colleagues.
When prompted, PetalMD automatically shows you which of your colleagues is available to take over any given task; you need only send them an automatic request. Your administrative assistant will be automatically notified upon a successful change of task responsibilities.
It’s a waste of time you can’t afford to manually update your various calendars in various places. PetalMD can be configured to automatically synchronize your personal calendar with an iPhone, Outlook, iCal, Yahoo, Hotmail or Google Calendar and many other popular scheduling tools. Let us help you save your time for the things that count.
Next: Share documents
PetalMD makes it easy for your group to have a portable—and organized—library. Subfolders allow everyone to keep a large number of documents within a structure that makes sense to your group. You’ll spend much less time trying to find the latest version of a given document.
While all group members can access group documents, make sure that the structure put in place stays in place by designating certain colleagues as responsible for uploading documents and managing the library structure.
Next: Communicate
Efficient communication is key to your group’s effective time management and overall operations. We have several innovative tools to help you and your colleagues triage your communications while easily sharing vital information.
For messages that require almost immediate attention, our private messaging tool allows you to instantly message one or more colleagues. Depending on your personal preferences, you can set up your account to receive an email notification when a new message is received.
For important but not urgent messages, PetalMD lets you post your information on a message board rather than flooding your colleagues’ inboxes. Colleagues will see the post upon their next visit to PetalMD—you can discuss the information at your own speed by leaving comments on the messages.
Tired of wasting time hunting down that elusive extension number or email address? PetalMD comes with an address book of your colleagues’ most up-to-date information. You can even message them directly from their contact file.
