Amion alternative built on mathematical optimization

Unlike Amion's manual approach, Thrawn's done-for-you managed service uses its proprietary Scheduling Programming Language to deliver finished, ACGME-compliant physician schedules with zero scheduling workload for your team.

What Amion Still Cannot Do

You Still Build Everything Manually

Amion is a publishing tool, not a scheduling engine. Every rotation, call shift, and clinic assignment still has to be manually constructed and resolved by your team.

Conflicts Pile Up Undetected

Without optimization, one resident swap creates a cascade of broken assignments across your block, call, and clinic schedules that only you will catch.

ACGME Violations Found Too Late

Amion has no duty hour engine. Violations surface after the schedule is published, leaving program directors scrambling before site visits or accreditation reviews.

Finished Schedules Delivered to Your Inbox

Thrawn is a true Amion alternative: a done-for-you managed service powered by a proprietary Scheduling Programming Language that produces complete, mathematically optimal schedules from your constraints. Where Amion requires you to build and fix, Thrawn delivers a finished product. Your team reviews instead of builds.

What You Get Instead of Amion

Five capabilities Amion was never designed to provide, built for residency and fellowship programs at leading academic health systems.

Review Finished Schedules Instead of Building Them

Managed Service

Review Finished Schedules Instead of Building Them

Thrawn's scheduling specialists absorb your entire scheduling workload. You submit constraints and receive a complete, ready-to-review schedule. No software to operate, no conflicts to manually resolve.

  • Zero schedule-building workload
  • Clarification rounds included
  • Chiefs become reviewers not builders
ACGME Violations Prevented Before Publication

Compliance

ACGME Violations Prevented Before Publication

Unlike Amion, which has no duty hour engine, Thrawn's optimization prevents violations at generation time. Every schedule produced already satisfies ACGME duty hour rules before your team ever sees it.

  • Violation prevention not detection
  • Accreditation audit readiness
  • Duty hours enforced at generation
Block Call and Clinic Optimized Simultaneously

Optimization

Block Call and Clinic Optimized Simultaneously

Amion treats each schedule type in isolation. Thrawn's SPL optimizes block, call, clinic, and attending schedules as one interconnected system, eliminating the domino effect that cascades through manually built schedules.

  • No domino effect on changes
  • All schedule types linked
  • One coherent optimized output
Mathematically Equitable Assignment Distribution

Fairness Engine

Mathematically Equitable Assignment Distribution

Manual scheduling in Amion leaves fairness to human judgment, which invites complaints and perceived bias. Thrawn's equity engine distributes nights, weekends, and holidays with mathematical precision across every resident.

  • Balanced holiday and weekend coverage
  • Eliminates perception of bias
  • Mathematically provable equity
Unplanned Absences Resolved Without Manual Patching

Rapid Response

Unplanned Absences Resolved Without Manual Patching

When a resident is unexpectedly unavailable, Amion offers no coverage solution. Thrawn re-optimizes the entire affected schedule rapidly, maintaining fairness and ACGME compliance without emergency phone trees.

  • Rapid full schedule re-optimization
  • Compliance preserved during changes
  • No manual coverage scrambling
