Amion - Clinician Scheduling

After last app update the default schedule does not stay on. It keeps changing to another hospital schedule view each and every time the app opened. Terribly inconvenient. They release the “update” and call it bug and fixes, however it now causing even more issues and unstable schedule view. Also you can’t use the old version of the app after they release the so called update. They force you to use the latest version of the app, which is worse the prior. If you don’t agree you loose all functionality of the app. Terrible. The app itself appears to be a link to website. If you don’t have internet the app would not work. Also you get frequent drug advertisements popping up when you try to open the app to see your work schedule. Pathetic. I have my schedule for 6 month ahead, but the app does not display many of shifts. You have to open classic view in order to view you your schedule. The app literally gets worse and worse after every update. Can’t wait to quit my job just so I won’t have to use this application ever again.

This app and program has many issues. The app Randomly kicks you out and then won’t take the correct password. It doesn’t update well with the computer program. It doesn’t save your work preferences after hitting the submit button. I have had many employees voice how upset they get when using the app and I end up putting in their schedules manually. As far as the program, I have no choice but to use it because that’s what the company bought. I spent many hours on the phone with IT and Amion help desk. And still the program will not do what it’s supposed to. The info box doesn’t come up on start up. The program crashes without warning. So for every entry I have to immediately save after. Only one person can be on it at a time or it will ruin all the work you’ve put in. The more you use it the more problems come up. Now the shift boxes won’t retain there time frames as originally entered. The staff counts at the top are inaccurate and I can’t balance the staffing for day or night shift. We are using this program for 80 plus personnel and it can not handle it. For 20 or less and with people that only work Monday through Friday, it looks like it would work just fine.

I can review schedules quickly - huge bonus. I would be nice if the individual user (not just the admin) had the ability to look at their metrics in a meaningful way (i.e. how many weekends or nights worked etc.) and be able to compare to their partners. Which would also mean that we need to access well beyond 120 days. Additionally, many of us who are Intensivist, ED docs and Hospitalists work well beyond our hours as represented on the shift schedule - it be fantastic if each user was able to log in their actual hours on their personal account.
