Aurora-Med automates residency scheduling across clinical rotations, on-call shifts and clinic hours. It assigns residents to rotations according to specialty track and residency year, with updates available as program requirements change. Call schedules distribute coverage to help avoid excessive shifts for individual residents, and clinic schedules take rotation and call commitments into account to reduce conflicts. Schedulers can simulate scenarios and adjust schedules for changing rules, requests, staffing shortages or patient-volume surges. The maker says scheduling accounts for staffing and regulatory requirements, including accreditation standards and internal policies, and is designed to distribute workloads fairly while allowing rest between shifts. Aurora combines artificial intelligence with expert human schedulers. It runs on PCs, Macs and Linux, either on customer servers or in the cloud. Configurable database import and export for Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, plus an API, support connections to client-controlled systems. The maker describes use at Massachusetts General Hospital across multiple clinical departments. Pricing is available on request, and prospective customers can request a free demo.
