Capabilities

Everything a chief resident needs

From automated generation to real-time compliance, RotaCore handles the complexity so your team can focus on medicine.

Constraint-optimized generation
OR-Tools CP-SAT solver generates a full academic year schedule in under 30 seconds, respecting all 10 hard constraints and 8 soft optimizations.
Fairness analytics
Real-time workload heatmaps expose imbalances in night shifts, holiday coverage, elective time, and rotation difficulty across every resident.
ACGME compliance
Continuous duty-hour monitoring — 80hr/week averaging, 24+4 max shifts, 1-in-7 day off. Exportable compliance reports for accreditation review.
Smart swap validation
Residents request swaps and the system instantly validates against all constraints — auto-approve valid swaps or explain exactly what would break.
Burnout detection
Detects consecutive intensive rotations, insufficient recovery blocks, and cumulative workload spikes — flagging at-risk residents before it's too late.
Excel import & export
Drop in your existing spreadsheet to get started instantly. Export the finished schedule in the exact format your program already uses.
How it works

From roster to published schedule in four steps

01
Import your roster
Upload your resident list and existing schedule from Excel. RotaCore maps teams, PGY levels, and rotations automatically.
02
Configure constraints
Hard constraints are pre-loaded from ACGME rules and your program's policies. Tune soft constraint weights with simple sliders.
03
Generate & compare
Run the solver to produce multiple candidate schedules. Compare side-by-side on fairness scores, coverage, and constraint compliance.
04
Publish & manage
Promote your chosen schedule, notify residents automatically, and handle swaps, vacations, and absences in real time all year long.
Intelligence layer

The insights that make chiefs pay for scheduling software

RotaCore doesn't just build schedules — it explains them, defends them, and makes them fairer over time.

  • ✓Workload heatmaps — spot imbalances in night shifts, HC count, and rotation difficulty at a glance
  • ✓Tradeoff explanations — every assignment comes with a human-readable "why" that chiefs can share with residents
  • ✓Scenario simulation — test any what-if change and instantly see its ripple effect on fairness and compliance
  • ✓Multi-year trend analysis — track whether fairness is improving year over year across your program
