Doodle in Action

Amy, a project specialist for a health care quality center in Cincinnati, Ohio relies on Premium Doodle Business on a weekly basis because it’s so easy to use and helps her speed the scheduling process. Amy’s group, comprised of approximately a dozen project staff and five administrative personnel, is responsible for quality improvement research for the hospital and is often managing as many as 20 projects at any given time. According to this Doodle fan, “The nature of our projects and the fact that we function somewhat like an external consultant to people and organizations outside of the hospital requires that we conduct a lot of phone calls, Webinars and face-to-face meetings. Doodle makes it simple for all of us to assemble a group of people, especially when participants use different calendar systems. And, because the tool is branded with our logo, we get greater visibility for our group with each poll and meeting we schedule. Doodle is so straightforward, we’ve had no resistance from people adopting it—the tool is no frills, but that’s what we like about it.”

“I’m a member of the local watershed council and we recently organized a project to jump-start a salmon run in one of our local streams. The idea was to put eggs or newly hatched fry in a streamside incubator, feed them for several weeks, then release them with this stream implanted in them as their own. We needed volunteers to go to the stream three times a day for 6-8 weeks to feed the fish, so we created a schedule on Doodle and sent an email people on our lists. In ONE DAY we had nearly all of the slots filled—a scheduling job that would have been a nightmare the old way.”
