Scheduling Software for Community Services

Free up valuable clinical capacity to focus on patient care with intelligent scheduling software for community services

Designed to complement your electronic patient record (EPR), Civica Scheduling (formerly Malinko) enables community services to operate with transparency and safety, providing real-time visibility of your distributed clinical workforce capacity and patient demand for better, safer care in the community.

With intelligent scheduling, caseloads can be assigned automatically based on defined rules such as clinical skill, patient need, location and visit duration. Easily schedule planned and unplanned visits, with real-time visibility for managers across all teams. This allows community services to operate with the same transparency and safety as an ambulance service and inpatient area in an acute hospital. Civica Scheduling is UKCA marked as a Class I Medical Device software.

Civica Scheduling offers a better experience for patients and healthcare professionals.

Civica Scheduling enabled us to safely manage capacity and demand as we move services from bricks and mortar to the community. We have always had flow and state systems along with rota systems for the acute space. Community can now operate with the same transparency and safety and as we make these big changes to models of care.
