What is RepScheduler®?

RepScheduler® is a website that aids in the scheduling and monitoring of Vendors in healthcare environments. We provide an effective solution that allows organizations to control scheduling options for each Location, and for vendors to maintain compliance with these policies.

How does it work?

You setup your account on-line and determine your representative policies, frequency restrictions, and the time windows when your practice desires service support. Reps then self-schedule their visits beforehand and check-in with you upon arrival.
The result: a streamlined process that increases practice profitability through increased efficiency and management control.

Absolutely not. The vendor pays one fee for the entire network of organizations.

Are there any conditions for the use of the service?

Yes. As a condition for the use of the RepScheduler® service, and in order to produce the desired benefits, it is REQUIRED that you implement the following procedures:

1. Require your sales reps to self-schedule their appointments via www.RepScheduler.com
2. Sales reps may not be in patient areas without a scheduled appointment. Although not required, it is recommended that representatives be given a visitor badge at check-in so they can be easily identified.
3. Do not give special treatment to reps that wish to control the timing or frequency of their visits.

How long will it take to set-up?

You can set-up the RepScheduler® Software in under an hour; however, your entire team must be ready to support the implementation. The fastest way to get started is by following the Getting Started Instructions, or call OUR NUMBER. The following information is needed: primary contact information, organization contact information and the specific rules you wish to set for allowing reps into your Location. In addition, this setting can be changed at any time. The system is built to handle system setting, however please keep in mind your changes may affect the current schedule. In addition, once your account is set-up, you can email or printout the Sales Rep Announcement, and distribute it to your representatives.

We already schedule our sales reps—will we be able to keep scheduling them in the same way with RepScheduler®?

Yes. The RepScheduler® system simply automates your manual processes. RepScheduler® is expressly designed to support the unique needs and preferences of each Location. With RepScheduler®, you can simplify the management of sales rep interaction and standardize organization protocol. The system is also built to support releasing the calendar on a rolling basis or on a specific day of the month. Should you ever want to make changes to the settings, you can access the page and change the setting accordingly.

Why not just schedule the reps in a written calendar?

RepScheduler® allows you to use the power of a shared web-based scheduling system so reps can self-schedule, on-line, 24/7. Manual procedures take time away from your staff and allow jockeying by the reps.

Do I need any special hardware or software?

How can RepScheduler® help our office remain HIPAA compliant?

The Final Rule on Security Standards from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued on February 20, 2003 mandates “physical safeguards” for the protection and privacy of patient information and requires controls for visitor access. These requirements include visitor sign-in and keeping a log of your visitors. Although not required, it is also recommended that you implement an ID badge system so that representatives can be easily identified. Sales visitors should never be allowed to linger in your facility.

Can I close the Location to other reps if I have a rep coming in to launch a new product?

Yes, you simply need to go to the day(s) you wish to have the launching rep in the Location, select each OPEN slot & select CLOSED. This will not allow any other reps to schedule that day. If there is already a rep scheduled on the day you are wanting another rep to launch, you can delete them from the calendar & it will issue an email to them letting them know that their appt has been cancelled.

How can I keep other reps from seeing that their competition is launching a new product?

Once you close the Location down for the launch days (see above FAQ), you can select the Invitation tab, which will allow you to select the launching rep. Once you submit the invite, it sends an email to the rep, which they will accept. Once they accept the invite on RepScheduler, it will add them to your calendar & their calendar ONLY. No other reps are able to see anything besides the lab is closed.
