Overview
Lightning Step is a versatile platform that elevates workforce management by offering solutions for scheduling and communication. One notable consideration is that since Lightning Step is internet-hosted, its functionality is dependent on a stable internet connection. However, this cloud-based approach offers remote access to patient records and streamlined updates.
