Overview
The Tangier product suite covers the entire life cycle of creating
and maintaining emergency physician work schedules. From gathering
physician requests, to publishing the completed schedule, to
tracking actual hours worked, Tangier does it all. Below is a brief
description of how Tangier facilitates the scheduling process. We
also offer online demos. To schedule a demo, please contact sales at
800-392-3298 x110.

Timeline: Prior
to the Schedule Period - Physicians
1. Physicians may enter their schedule requests (off time and
requested shifts) using the Tangier Web™ Personal Calendar
(if authorized by their department).
2. Requests may be entered for the upcoming scheduling period
until the department's "Request Cut Off Date" has elapsed.
Requests may also be entered for future scheduling periods.
3. Physicians monitor their Personal Calendar to track the status
of their requests. A request is initially defaulted to a "Pending"
status until an administrator reviews and approves/denies it.
4. Physicians may enter "Personal Events" to track
their non-work related obligations and appointments at any time.
5. Physicians can view their assigned shifts once the schedule
is "Published" for the upcoming period (see below).
6. Physicians can share the published schedule, along with
their approved Requests and Personal Events, to other calendar
programs, such as Apple ICal, Google Calendar, and MS Outlook..
7. Physicians can use their Personal Calendar to send their administrator
a note as needed.

Timeline:
Prior to the Schedule Period - Administrators
1. Once the department's "Request Cut Off Date" has
elapsed (or sooner), the scheduler uses the Tangier Web™ Request
Calendar to review and approve/deny physician requests.
2. The scheduler has the option of having request approvals/denials
immediately viewable by Physicians, or they can use an interim
status to internally approve/deny a request while they attempt
to create a viable schedule.
3. The scheduler uses Tangier™ to create the physician work
schedule for the upcoming schedule period.
4. Once the schedule is completed, the scheduler places it
in a "Published" status, making the shift assignments
for the period viewable by Physicians using the Personal Calendar.
5. Tangier™ will automatically finalize the status of all physician
requests based on the published schedule.
6. Administrators may send their physicians a note via the
Admin Calendar as needed.

Timeline:
During the Schedule Period - Physicians
1. Physicians use their Tangier Web™ Personal Calendar to monitor
the latest changes to the schedule.
2. Physicians may use the Tangier Web™ Sign In/Sign Out page
to reflect their actual hours worked ( if authorized by their
department).
3. Physicians may use the Tangier Web™ Shift Swap page to automatically
swap shifts with other physicians (if authorized by their department).

Timeline:
During the Schedule Period - Administrators
1. Schedulers make changes to the published schedule as necessary
via Tangier Web™ or Tangier EPS™.
2. Schedule changes are reflected immediately to all physicians
using Tangier Web™.
3. The Tangier™ Eligible Provider dialog/page automates finding
a suitable replacement for a problem shift.
4. The Tangier™ Adjust Worked dialog/page allows for the tracking
of bonuses and or increase compensation required to entice a
physician to work a hard to fill shift.
5. The Tangier™ Adjust Planned dialog/page allows shifts to
be split to accommodate two physicians (or more) working a single
shift.
6. The Tangier EPS™ Rapid Entry Screen or the Tangier Web™
Time & Accounting Page allows the actual duration and financial
information of a shift to be reflected. This information can
be automatically interfaced to the client's internal systems
(Payroll, HR etc.).
7. Administrative personnel can run a full range of Reports
to better manage the operation of their department's.
