更多的复杂性=更好地优化时刻表
It may seem counterintuitive: the toughest scheduling requirements deliver the best optimized shift schedules. Rules that generate headaches for manual scheduling such as “Dr. Smith should only work with Dr. Chen on Tuesdays, if the cath lab is also open” are a snap for our AI system to navigate. With Lightning Bolt, complexity is encouraged. Set up hundreds of scheduling rules and our AI will consider them all to automatically generate the best possible shift combinations:
-
Recurring department meetings
-
Physician shift preferences
-
Fair on-call time management
-
Holiday and vacation distributions
-
Residency schedule restrictions
-
Recovery time after overnight shifts

Emergency medicine departments use the fewest set scheduling rules, but their average number of monthly schedule change requests is the highest of any specialty.
-
Hospitalist departments are close behind emergency medicine in terms of overall schedule complexity.
-
肺病和手术科室使用的检查的任何专业的集调度规则的最高人数，远远少于每月变更请求。
“Everyone has now synced their personal calendars to our schedule so we are finally organized on staffing, have updated assignment tallies and now have no discussion about who is working which assignments how often. My wife synced to our schedule so she is no longer surprised when I’m on call. Lightning Bolt has been a real marriage saver.”
