about the PLANNER
When someone gets stuck on hold, it’s frustrating for both care teams and patients. This tool helps solve for that problem before it happens.

Enter your call volume, operating hours, and service targets. In seconds, you'll see exactly which hours are covered, which aren’t, and how many people you need on the phones to close the gap.

The result is a win-win—your team gets a workload they can manage, and your patients get the help they need faster. The data, and the staffing decisions, remain yours.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
The Phone Staffing Planner was built by Angela Borg, who spent eight years managing Johns Hopkins’ community pharmacy service center. While there, she oversaw more than 46,000 prescriptions and 26,000 calls a month. She also helped build the health system’s centralized pharmacy fulfillment services and contact centers from the ground up, and later led major system implementations across pharmacy, infusion, and home medical equipment as Program Manager of Operational Effectiveness.

She knows exactly what a bad staffing day looks like, because she lived it. This planner is what she wishes she’d had when building out and staffing call centers.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Looking for more support?

Schedules are just the start. Waves can help you find other ways to meet patients’ needs while taking pressure off your team.
Service Efficiency

A centralized call center can take pressure off staff handling on-demand services across your system. We’ll help you design roles and workflows built around your vision for service.

Access Expansion

The ways patients, providers, and caregivers expect to reach you keep multiplying. Together, we’ll assess whether your current tools keep pace, the map out your best path forward.

Demand Matching

Call volume shifts by hour, day, and season, and keeping staffing aligned takes constant attention. We can help you build a staffing model that flexes with that pattern instead of chasing it.
