Important Considerations

While eSchedule offers robust healthcare scheduling features, the website doesn't explicitly mention HIPAA compliance, which some reviewers noted as a limitation for facilities that need to include patient information in schedules.

Pricing

eSchedule starts at $1250/year for 20 active employees (approximately $5.2/user/month when billed annually). Pricing scales based on employee count.
