Done-for-you call scheduling
Stop building the call schedule by hand.
Dr. Feller used to spend his nights and weekends building the call schedule each month. He hasn't touched the spreadsheet since November.
We reply within one business day.
The problem
There are one or two people in your group who can't catch a break.
The schedule eats their nights and weekends. Whatever they do, someone complains.
And while everyone has an opinion, no one is eager to help.
The software you have looked at asks you to reduce your rules to checkboxes. It still needs a human babysitter, and tweaks are more work than doing it yourself. You go back to the spreadsheet.
What we do
We do the scheduling work. Your group gets the finished schedule.
Clinicians get one simple place to view the schedule and submit requests. You get a draft reviewed for coverage, fairness, weekends, holidays, and rule conflicts.
No rebuilding the spreadsheet. No scheduling system for your group to configure.
And maybe the best part? If someone is unhappy, "the computer is to blame"
Proof
Six months of published schedules at Trident Anesthesia.
Trident is the reason Nice Schedule exists.
Before Nice Schedule, two physicians were spending six to eight hours per cycle building call by hand and absorbing the complaints afterward.
Since November 2025, Trident has been publishing schedules from this process. The April 2026 schedule above is one of them.
The guarantee
Approve the first schedule before you pay.
First live schedule in three weeks. If the first live schedule is not a workable replacement for your spreadsheet process, we do not invoice the pilot.
We can offer that guarantee because we do the rule-capture work before generating the schedule: interviews, past schedule import, request collection, and a fairness review before publication.
How it works
What the first three weeks look like.
Week one: We listen.
We sit down with the person who owns the schedule today, plus two or three people who know where the friction lives. Post-call rules. Golden weekends. Site mix. Pairing issues. The local rules that never made it into a policy doc. All of it.
Week two: Requests go live.
Your group gets one place, on a phone or desktop, to submit vacation, preferences, and exceptions. We import past schedules so fairness accounting begins from history, not from zero.
Week three: We deliver the first call schedule.
We generate the draft, walk you through the dashboard and revise until the numbers are right. Then you publish one source of truth.
Is this a fit?
We are careful about who we take on.
If you are much smaller, much larger, or need hospital-wide OR scheduling, we will say so on the call and save us both a meeting.
This is a fit if…
- You are an independent call-taking group, usually 14 to 40 clinicians.
- One partner or scheduler owns call, and the job keeps getting harder to hand off.
- You have real constraints: post-call rules, site coverage, subspecialty work, not just a vacation calendar.
- You want the schedule built with you, not another login your group will ignore or software to learn.
Probably not a fit if…
- You want to configure a tool yourself.
- You need a hospital-wide OR scheduling system.
- You are looking for free software.
- Your current process is working fine.
Next step
A 20-minute review of your schedule.
No demo deck. We ask about your group size, sites, call rules, and current process. Then we tell you whether Nice Schedule is a fit and how soon we could start.
We only take on two groups per month so the listening part is done properly.
