Scheduling for GME administrators made whole
Stop patching together fragmented tools for block, call, and clinic schedules. Thrawn's managed service delivers one unified, ACGME-compliant plan built by mathematical optimization.
Why GME Scheduling Stays Broken
Fragmented Tools Create Cascading Errors
Block, call, and clinic schedules live in separate tools. A change in one unravels the others, forcing administrators to manually reconcile conflicts across the entire program.
Compliance Gaps Surface Too Late
ACGME duty hour violations are discovered after the schedule is published, leaving administrators scrambling to fix a plan that residents already received.
Preference Requests Overwhelm the Process
Dozens of vacation requests, elective preferences, and scheduling constraints arrive at once. Manually working each one into a fair schedule takes weeks of back-and-forth.
One Unified Schedule Built for You
Thrawn's Scheduling Programming Language (SPL) treats block, call, clinic, and attending schedules as one interconnected system. Send your constraints — rotation requirements, resident preferences, ACGME duty hour rules, educational goals — and receive finished, mathematically optimal schedules ready for review. No software to learn. No conflicts to resolve by hand.
Built for the Full GME Scheduling Workload
Five capabilities that address every schedule type a GME administrator owns, from annual block planning to last-minute absence coverage.
Unified Optimization
All Schedule Types Optimized as One System
Block, call, clinic, and attending schedules are generated simultaneously as a single interconnected plan. When one element changes, the entire system re-optimizes, eliminating the cascading errors that fragment the GME administrator's workload.
- No domino effect between schedules
- Single constraint input for all schedule types
- One plan ready for program review
Block Scheduling
Year-Long Rotation Plans Delivered Automatically
Thrawn generates complete annual block schedules that satisfy rotation requirements, complement constraints, and resident preferences simultaneously. GME administrators receive a finished plan rather than a blank template to populate.
- All rotation requirements satisfied at generation
- Vacation and elective preferences incorporated
- Educational milestone tracking built in
ACGME Compliance
Duty Hour Violations Prevented Before Publication
Every schedule Thrawn delivers is automatically compliant with ACGME duty hour rules. Violations are prevented at generation time, not flagged after the schedule has already been distributed to residents and attendings.
- 80-hour weekly limit enforced at generation
- Rest period requirements automatically satisfied
- Accreditation audit readiness built in
Resident Preferences
Every Preference Request Factored In Mathematically
Vacation requests, elective preferences, and individual scheduling constraints are treated as formal inputs to the optimization engine. Administrators no longer manually reconcile dozens of conflicting requests into a fair plan.
- Vacation and elective requests as hard constraints
- No manual reconciliation of conflicting preferences
- Fair distribution across all residents
Absence Coverage
Rapid Re-Optimization for Unplanned Resident Absence
When a resident becomes unexpectedly unavailable, Thrawn re-optimizes the affected schedules rapidly. GME administrators receive alternative coverage that maintains ACGME compliance and fairness without emergency phone trees or manual patching.
- Re-optimization without manual intervention
- Compliance maintained through every change
- Coverage gaps prevented automatically
