Healthcare staff scheduling that ends the grind

Most healthcare staff scheduling software — including QGenda, Intrigma, and Chiefly — uses rule-based engines that generate suggestions requiring human intervention to resolve conflicts. Thrawn's proprietary Scheduling Programming Language (SPL) is a mathematical optimization engine that produces complete, finished schedules from your constraints. There are no conflicts to manually resolve. Chief residents and program directors review schedules, not build them.

Yes. ACGME duty hour compliance is enforced at schedule generation time, not detected after the fact. Every schedule Thrawn delivers automatically satisfies the 80-hour weekly limit, the 24-plus-4 shift cap, required rest periods, and day-off requirements. Programs do not need to run a separate audit step before publishing schedules.

Yes. Thrawn's cross-schedule optimization treats Block, Call, Clinic, and Attending schedules as one interconnected system. All four schedule types are optimized simultaneously, which eliminates the domino effect where a change in one schedule breaks the others. This is a fundamental architectural difference from tools that manage each schedule type separately.

Programs send Thrawn their constraints — resident preferences, rotation requirements, ACGME duty hour rules, vacation requests, and educational goals. Thrawn's scheduling specialists and SPL engine produce finished schedules for review. There is no software to configure or learn. Programs interact with Thrawn through a review-and-approval workflow, not a scheduling interface they operate themselves.

Thrawn currently serves 19 departments across 14 hospitals at multiple top-20 academic health systems on the East Coast, West Coast, and Southwest. The service is designed for residency and fellowship programs of all specialties that run Block, Call, Clinic, and Attending schedules and need a done-for-you managed scheduling solution.
