Physician shift scheduling software that ends chaos

Thrawn's managed physician shift scheduling software uses mathematical optimization to deliver finished, ACGME-compliant schedules. Chief residents review instead of build.

Why Physician Shift Scheduling Breaks Down

Rule-Based Systems Leave Gaps

Every suggestion from rule-based software still needs a human to resolve conflicts, balance fairness, and patch coverage holes before publication.

Compliance Caught Too Late

ACGME duty hour violations surface after the schedule is built, forcing complete rebuilds under deadline pressure that costs hours of rework.

One Change Breaks Everything

A single vacation request or unexpected absence unravels interconnected block, call, and clinic schedules, triggering a time-consuming cascade of manual fixes.

Finished Schedules Delivered by Mathematicians

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.

Built for Residency and Fellowship Programs

Five capabilities that eliminate the scheduling workload for physician shift scheduling from the ground up.

Finished Shift Schedules Delivered for Review

Finished Shift Schedules Delivered for Review

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.

  • No software to learn or configure
  • Constraints in, finished schedule out
  • Chiefs review not build
ACGME Duty Hour Compliance Built In

Compliance

ACGME Duty Hour Compliance Built In

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.

  • Violation prevention not detection
  • 80-hour limit enforced at generation
  • Accreditation audit readiness
Block Call and Clinic Optimized Together

Optimization

Block Call and Clinic Optimized Together

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.

  • Simultaneous multi-schedule optimization
  • No cascading schedule breakdowns
  • One interconnected system
Mathematically Equitable Shift Distribution

Fairness Engine

Mathematically Equitable Shift Distribution

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.

  • Balanced night and weekend shifts
  • Holiday equity across all residents
  • Bias-free assignment distribution
Instant Re-Optimization for Unplanned Absences

Rapid Response

Instant Re-Optimization for Unplanned Absences

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.

  • Rapid absence re-optimization
  • Fairness maintained through changes
  • No manual coverage scrambles
