Aurora-Med
San Mateo, California, United States
What it is
Aurora-Med automates scheduling for medical residency programs and teaching hospitals, coordinating clinical rotations, on-call shifts, and clinic hours. It assigns residents to rotations according to specialty track and residency year, with updates as program requirements change. On-call assignments are distributed to balance coverage and avoid excessive calls, while clinic schedules account for rotation and call commitments to prevent conflicts. Scheduling rules can include staffing needs, accreditation requirements, and internal policies. Schedulers can model scenarios and revise assignments for rule changes, special requests, staffing shortages, or increases in patient volume. The maker says Aurora combines artificial intelligence with the judgment and experience of human schedulers. It is available on PCs, Macs, and Linux, either through cloud operation or hosting on customer servers. Configurable Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server data import and export and 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; prospective customers can request a free demo.
