Medical appointment scheduling software that actually finishes
Thrawn's Managed Scheduling Service uses mathematical optimization to deliver complete, conflict-free provider schedules. No manual adjustments, no duty hour violations, no cascading errors.
Why Medical Scheduling Stays Broken
Conflicts Multiply Without Warning
One preference change cascades across block, call, and clinic schedules. What started as a single swap becomes a weekend of manual rebuilding.
ACGME Violations Caught Too Late
Rule-based systems flag duty hour violations after schedules are already built, forcing program directors to restart a process that took days or weeks.
Chiefs Build Instead of Lead
Chief residents spend hundreds of hours constructing schedules each year instead of focusing on patient care, education, and program leadership.
Finished Schedules Delivered to Your Inbox
Thrawn's proprietary Scheduling Programming Language takes your program's constraints — ACGME duty hour rules, resident preferences, rotation requirements, vacation requests — and produces complete, mathematically optimal schedules. Chief residents and program directors review a finished product, not a work in progress.
Built for Complex Medical Scheduling
Five capabilities working together to eliminate scheduling workload for residency and fellowship programs at leading academic medical centers.
System Coordination
Cross-Schedule Optimization for Medical Programs
Block, call, clinic, and attending schedules are optimized simultaneously as one interconnected system. A change in one schedule does not break the others, eliminating the domino effect that derails medical program scheduling.
- One system, four schedule types
- Eliminates cascading schedule failures
- No manual reconciliation required
Compliance
ACGME Duty Hour Compliance Built In
Medical appointment schedules are generated with ACGME duty hour rules embedded in the optimization engine. Violations are prevented at generation time, not flagged after the schedule is already published and distributed.
- Violation prevention not detection
- Accreditation audit readiness
- 80-hour and rest period enforcement
Managed Service
Review Finished Schedules Instead of Building Them
Thrawn's done-for-you model means your program sends constraints and receives a finished schedule ready for review. Program directors and chief residents become approvers, not architects, of the medical appointment schedule.
- Done-for-you schedule delivery
- Chiefs review not build
- Clarification rounds included
Resident Input
Resident Preferences Factored Into Every Schedule
Vacation requests, elective preferences, and individual scheduling constraints are incorporated directly into the mathematical optimization. Medical programs get compliant schedules without the manual reconciliation of dozens of competing preferences.
- Vacation and elective integration
- No manual preference reconciliation
- Constraints respected at generation
Coverage Continuity
Rapid Re-Optimization for Unplanned Absences
When a provider is unexpectedly unavailable, the entire medical schedule is re-optimized to maintain coverage, fairness, and ACGME compliance. No emergency phone trees or manual patching required.
- Instant absence re-optimization
- Fairness maintained during changes
- Coverage gaps prevented automatically
