[February 7, 2024] \u2014 <\/strong>PerfectServe\u00ae, a leading provider of cloud-based clinical collaboration and provider scheduling solutions, today announced that its rule-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightning-bolt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lightning Bolt Scheduling<\/a> solution earned a Best in KLAS award for the <a href=\"https:\/\/klasresearch.com\/best-in-klas-ranking\/scheduling-physician\/2024\/324\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scheduling: Physician market segment<\/a>. The award is given by KLAS, a research firm that channels the voices of thousands of healthcare professionals to share valuable insights about the technology they use every day. The news follows publication of the <a href=\"https:\/\/klasresearch.com\/report\/2024-best-in-klas-awards-software-and-services\/3413\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 Best in KLAS: Software and Services<\/a> report, which was released this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award marks Lightning Bolt\u2019s third time winning the segment (2017, 2018, and 2024), which is growing in importance as more healthcare organizations adopt advanced, enterprise-grade scheduling solutions. It also closely follows the September publication of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightning-bolt.com\/news\/lightning-bolt-top-performer-klas-scheduling-report-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KLAS Physician Scheduling 2023 report<\/a>, which echoed the Best in KLAS sentiment by giving Lightning Bolt top marks for overall performance, ease of use, quality of support, and proactive service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in this business to thrill our customers with technology that makes a difference they can feel, so this recognition from KLAS is the highest of honors for our entire team,\u201d said PerfectServe CEO Guillaume Castel. \u201cLightning Bolt is built on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightning-bolt.com\/blog\/combinatorial-optimization-provider-scheduling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">combinatorial optimization<\/a>, and it\u2019s a beautiful example of how a complex process can work behind the scenes to yield some really incredible results. We\u2019re more motivated than ever to show healthcare organizations how a tailored, optimized approach to physician and staff scheduling can boost engagement, efficiency, wellness, and so many other important metrics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt KLAS, we firmly believe that the voice of healthcare providers and payers is paramount,\u201d said KLAS Research CEO Adam Gale. \u201cThe Best in KLAS awards are based on extensive feedback and evaluations from healthcare professionals across the nation. Winning a Best in KLAS award, therefore, is not just about recognition; it shows the trust and confidence that healthcare providers place in the winning vendors. It also helps validate each vendor\u2019s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. We are proud to recognize 2024\u2019s Best in KLAS award winners! Their unwavering dedication to improving patient outcomes is wonderfully inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sampling of recent commentary collected by KLAS reveals a Lightning Bolt customer base that is consistently impressed with the capability of the solution, the time it saves, and its hardwired interoperability, along with the excellence and creativity of the team that supports it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cAnother organization was looking for a scheduling solution, and I told them that Lightning Bolt Scheduling is very powerful, applies many rules, is very accurate when it comes to scheduling, and has a very reasonable price.\u201d \u2014 <strong>CIO, August 2023<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWhen I do have a question, PerfectServe gets back to me right away. And even though I feel like I&#8217;m not explaining things to them correctly, they seem to know what I&#8217;m talking about. Sometimes they even get creative and put a spin on my idea so that it is not just what I&#8217;m thinking but something with even higher tech. So not only do they understand that I don&#8217;t speak the language that they speak but they get to the point of what I want and then boost it up a bit more. That is always refreshing. They know their product inside and out, and when I am talking to people who know what they are selling, it is always easier to talk to them about it. They have never told us they couldn&#8217;t do something for us or that they had never heard of what we were asking for. They are well versed in the direction their product can go, and that is always nice.\u201d \u2014 <strong>Manager, January 2024<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cThe value we get with Lightning Bolt Scheduling is integration with everything else that I own. There isn&#8217;t anything that the vendor is afraid to integrate with. That is a blessing to us because we have so many different products across our health system. The integration allows us to make Lightning Bolt Scheduling our standard because we know that we can integrate with almost everything that we run into. Lightning Bolt Scheduling has provided huge value because we used to have multiple schedules out there, and a lot of times, the quality of those schedules wasn\u2019t consistent because they were faxed to somebody who would update the schedules and send them to the next person. The operators were calling the wrong doctors. With the way things are done now, the schedule is immediately updated in all of our systems. We know that we have good communication just based on the provider schedule, and the system has greatly increased the speed to care for our patients.\u201d \u2014 <strong>Manager, September 2023<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI could not live without Lightning Bolt Scheduling, and it would be impossible for me to make our schedule without it. The solution allows us to schedule around people\u2019s time off requests, and the product has substantially reduced the amount of time it takes to make our schedule. It used to take hours, but now the schedule is done in minutes. The schedule turns out right, and I don\u2019t kill myself in the process. The product works fantastically and just gets better and better every year. I recommend the solution all the time.\u201d \u2014 <strong>Physician, July 2023<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As PerfectServe continues to focus on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectserve.com\/unite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unite<\/a> message\u2014which highlights the power of a unified scheduling and communication platform to drive real-time care team collaboration at scale\u2014the industry has taken notice.
