dCare Locum

Physician coverage. Reliably booked.

dCare Locum connects medical practices, primary care centres and clinics in Austria with verified physicians – from searching the calendar to billing.

Open the web app for organisations Apps for physicians

Not a job board: a platform for planning, requesting, confirming and billing locum coverage.

Example flow

  1. Organisation · web app A general practice needs coverage on Friday, 08:00–13:00 Need recorded
  2. Organisation · web app Request sent to matching, verified physicians Awaiting confirmation
  3. Physician · mobile app Request reviewed and accepted in the app ✓ Binding confirmation

How it works

One system, two perspectives

Organisations plan at their desk, physicians respond on the go. Both sides work with the same appointments, the same status and the same binding confirmation.

Web app · optimised for desktop

For organisations

Practices, group practices, primary care centres and clinics organise their coverage in the browser.

  1. Set up profile and needsStore locations, opening hours and the time slots in which coverage is needed.
  2. Search the calendarSearch for available physicians directly in the required period and filter by specialty.
  3. Send requestsRequest one or several matching physicians – or publish the need and choose from those who express interest.
  4. Track confirmation and billingSee the status of every request; after the assignment, follow billing documents and payment status.

For physicians

Physicians who take on coverage manage everything from their smartphone – no phone chains, no email threads.

  1. Maintain profile and qualificationsStore specialty, qualifications, fee rules and payout details.
  2. Enter availabilityMark in the calendar when coverage is possible. Only these times can be found by organisations.
  3. Confirm or decline requestsReview incoming requests with time, location and organisation, then decide.
  4. Keep track of assignments and feesConfirmed assignments, fee overview, documents and receipts in one place.

The shared ruleOnly the physician's confirmation turns a request into a binding coverage appointment. After that, time and location are no longer changed unilaterally.

Reliability

Built for everyday medical practice

  • Verified profiles

    Identity is checked via ID Austria. A profile is only shown as verified once the check has been completed.

  • Binding confirmation

    Every assignment follows the same path: request, confirmation, assignment. The status is visible to both sides at all times.

  • Traceable billing

    After the assignment, both sides keep track of fees, billing documents and payment status.

  • No patient data

    dCare Locum organises appointments and coverage. Patient records are not part of the platform.
