Medical Staff Scheduling Software as a Managed Service

Send your constraints and receive finished, ACGME-compliant medical staff schedules. Thrawn's mathematical optimization engine eliminates the scheduling workload entirely.

Why Medical Staff Scheduling Fails

Schedules That Break Each Other

Block, call, and clinic schedules built in isolation create cascading conflicts. Fix one and you unravel another, spending days rebuilding from scratch.

ACGME Violations Found Too Late

Most tools detect duty hour violations after the schedule is built, forcing manual rework right before a schedule goes live or an accreditation visit.

Hundreds of Hours Lost Annually

Chief residents and program directors spend enormous time building schedules instead of leading programs, teaching residents, and delivering patient care.

Finished Schedules Delivered to Your Program

Thrawn's proprietary Scheduling Programming Language (SPL) takes your program's constraints — rotation requirements, resident preferences, ACGME duty hour rules, vacation requests — and produces complete, mathematically optimal schedules. Your team reviews finished schedules instead of building them. No software to configure or learn.

Built for Medical Staff Scheduling Complexity

Five capabilities addressing the specific demands of residency and fellowship scheduling across Block, Call, Clinic, and Attending schedules.

Review Finished Schedules Instead of Building Them

Managed Service

Review Finished Schedules Instead of Building Them

Programs receive complete, optimized medical staff schedules ready for approval. Chief residents and program directors become reviewers, not builders, eliminating the most time-consuming administrative burden in graduate medical education.

  • Finished schedules delivered for review
  • Clarification rounds ensure accuracy
  • No scheduling software to operate
Block Call and Clinic Optimized Simultaneously

System Optimization

Block Call and Clinic Optimized Simultaneously

All medical staff schedule types are treated as one interconnected system. A change in the block schedule does not break the call schedule. The domino effect that consumes weeks of manual rework is eliminated at the engine level.

  • All schedule types treated as one system
  • Eliminates cascading schedule failures
  • No manual reconciliation between schedules
ACGME Compliance Built Into Every Schedule

Compliance

ACGME Compliance Built Into Every Schedule

Duty hour violations are prevented at generation time, not flagged after the fact. Every medical staff schedule produced by Thrawn satisfies ACGME requirements before it is ever delivered to your program.

  • Violation prevention not detection
  • Accreditation audit readiness
  • Compliance across all schedule types
Mathematically Balanced Assignment Distribution

Fairness Engine

Mathematically Balanced Assignment Distribution

Nights, weekends, holidays, and coveted rotations are distributed with mathematical precision across all medical staff. Removes unconscious bias and the perception of unfairness that generates scheduling complaints.

  • Equitable night and weekend distribution
  • Holiday assignment balancing
  • Mathematically provable fairness
Constraints and Preferences Factored In Automatically

Resident Preferences

Constraints and Preferences Factored In Automatically

Vacation requests, elective preferences, and individual scheduling constraints are inputs to the optimization engine, not afterthoughts. Every resident gets meaningful input without creating manual reconciliation work for program leadership.

  • Vacation and elective preferences honored
  • Individual constraints factored at generation
  • No manual preference reconciliation
