Thrawn's managed physician shift scheduling software uses mathematical optimization to deliver finished, ACGME-compliant schedules. Chief residents review instead of build.
Every suggestion from rule-based software still needs a human to resolve conflicts, balance fairness, and patch coverage holes before publication.
ACGME duty hour violations surface after the schedule is built, forcing complete rebuilds under deadline pressure that costs hours of rework.
A single vacation request or unexpected absence unravels interconnected block, call, and clinic schedules, triggering a time-consuming cascade of manual fixes.
Thrawn's Scheduling Programming Language (SPL) takes your program's constraints — resident preferences, rotation requirements, ACGME duty hour rules, vacation requests — and produces complete, optimal physician shift schedules. No suggestions to reconcile. No software to learn. You receive a finished schedule for review.
Five capabilities that eliminate the scheduling workload for physician shift scheduling from the ground up.

Managed Service
Programs submit constraints and receive complete physician shift schedules ready for approval. Chief residents and program directors review a finished product instead of spending weeks building one from scratch.

Compliance
Every generated shift schedule automatically satisfies ACGME duty hour rules. Violations are prevented at generation time, not flagged after the fact, so your program is always audit-ready without manual checking.

Optimization
Physician shift schedules rarely exist in isolation. Thrawn optimizes block, call, clinic, and attending schedules simultaneously as one system, eliminating the domino effect when any single shift or rotation changes.

Fairness Engine
Nights, weekends, and holidays are distributed with mathematical precision across all physicians. Thrawn's fairness engine removes the perception of favoritism and significantly reduces scheduling complaints from residents and fellows.

Rapid Response
When a physician is unexpectedly unavailable, Thrawn re-optimizes the affected shift schedule rapidly, generating compliant coverage alternatives that preserve fairness without emergency phone trees or manual patching.
