CoverED
What it is
CoverED is scheduling software for emergency medicine groups, including single-site and multi-site emergency departments, residency programs, and schedule administrators. It generates monthly schedules through a six-pass algorithm that considers requests and configured constraints, fills NOC shifts first, and balances weekends. Its model supports AM, PM, and NOC shifts, nocturnist role separation, and an APP layer with one to four daily slots depending on plan. Providers can submit availability, block dates, request shifts or PTO, trade named shifts, and claim open shifts from a phone. CoverED tracks weekend and shift equity, provides three-month rolling burnout indicators, and carries deficits into later months. Published shifts can sync to Apple, Google, or Outlook calendars through ICS or webcal; PDF and CSV exports and email and SMS digests are also available. Residency tools include block scheduling and ACGME duty-hour checks. CoverED imports prior schedules from files, screenshots, exports, or copied text. It stores scheduling data only, not clinical data, and encrypts information in transit and at rest on SOC 2 infrastructure. Paid plans include done-for-you setup; any plan includes a free 30-minute guided walkthrough. A mobile-friendly web app supports PWA installation without an app-store download.
