Epic links staff scheduling with faster care coordination

Scheduling technology matters when it reduces handoffs and coverage gaps—not merely when it creates a cleaner calendar.

What was announced

Epic highlighted Teamwork, an integrated staffing application, and reported faster coordination across participating health systems.

It should not be interpreted as a product endorsement. The next step is to test the claim against the practice's own workflow, contracts and success measures.
