NorthStar Anesthesia, which manages a workforce of 3,000 clinicians across 25 states, faced challenges with their commercial scheduling platform's lack of mobile-friendliness and hidden time-off data. They developed a custom scheduling app using Databricks Apps, leveraging existing data and infrastructure, in just a few weeks. This new app provides clinicians with crucial mobile-friendly scheduling information, significantly improving their workflow and reducing stress.
