The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
EMS runs 24/7 with rotating shifts, credential requirements, overtime rules, and chronic staffing shortages, making scheduling uniquely painful, yet many agencies still use spreadsheets or generic tools. Purpose-built EMS crew scheduling that tracks certifications and manages fatigue and shift trades solves a real operational headache.
