Medical schedule generator

Medical schedule generator: produce a reliable base without rebuilding everything by hand

A useful generator should not only fill boxes. It must respect constraints, surface conflicts and make distribution readable.

Generation in secondsConstraints and unavailability includedFairness review before publication

Automatic generation becomes valuable when it avoids the endless first draft. But in healthcare, a generated schedule must remain controllable: rest, skills, availability, coverage and fairness need to be visible before publication.

SaniShift generates a workable proposal, then gives the manager the indicators needed to adjust, explain and publish without starting over.

Why a basic generator is not enough

  • An opaque automatic schedule can create as many discussions as a manual one
  • Conflicts that are not visible before publication are expensive to fix
  • Teams need to understand the distribution logic
  • After publication, exchanges and open shifts still need to be tracked

Generate, review, publish

The SaniShift generator is part of a full workflow: it proposes a base, then helps review risks and distribute the schedule.

  • Create a proposal from center rules and team data
  • Spot open shifts, conflicts and fairness gaps
  • Adjust before publication with a clear manager view
  • Notify the team and keep usable exports
Automatic generation is not a magic black box: it provides a fast working base that the manager can review before publication.

What to measure during a trial

A good generator should be tested on a real case, with the constraints that usually make scheduling painful.
