Anesthesia scheduling software
Built for the group, not the hospital.
PostCallMD is call scheduling software for independent anesthesia groups of about 14 to 40 clinicians, the kind where one partner is still building call in a spreadsheet because no off-the-shelf tool can model the local rules.
It is software with the guardrails built in, not a service that mails you a finished month. There is no settings page with four hundred toggles either. We sit with your group, build the solver around your rules by hand, and give your scheduler a button. A draft, not a decree: the group reviews it, edits it, and publishes.
Your group approves the first live schedule before you pay.
Where to start
Pick the conversation you are in.
Most anesthesia scheduling searches are really one of a few questions. If this software page is not the one you meant, these are.
Anesthesia call scheduling
What an anesthesia call schedule has to do, why the spreadsheet eventually breaks, and what a solver-backed version looks like. Start here if call is the part of the schedule taking your time.
Call schedule template
The five-tab structure we use with new groups before solver-backed scheduling kicks in. Copy it into your own sheet. Useful even if PostCall never enters the conversation.
QGenda alternative
If you are evaluating QGenda or Amion and your blocker is anesthesia call rules, this page is the side-by-side. Honest about where each tool is the right answer.
Inside the software
What your group actually touches.
PostCall is software, and you do not configure it. We build the solver around your group’s rules by hand and tune it every cycle. What follows is what your scheduler and your doctors see day to day.
- PostCall Protection. The post-call rule your group already has, finally enforced. You can still schedule a doctor post call, but the override screen makes you type the name to confirm, logs the reason, and puts the post-call count where the whole group can see it.
- Request Hub. One queue for every request. Doctors submit from the app, and the ones who email the way they always have get read by an AI agent and turned into clean, dated requests. The scheduler taps approve or deny. See how requests feed the solver.
- Call Wizard. A button that generates a draft schedule from your rules, vacations, history, capabilities, and requests. A draft your group edits and publishes, never a schedule handed down.
- Draft Runner. Vacation and holiday drafts that run themselves. Each doctor gets emailed when their turn comes, sees what is still open, and picks lock in order, already in the system come scheduling time.
- Fairness accounting. Weekend, holiday, and total call carried forward month to month and year to year, so fairness is a number your scheduler can point to instead of a feeling.
- It runs from a phone. Publish a schedule from the carpool line, approve a swap between cases. For power users there is a full desktop app.
How it is built
You do not configure it. We do, by hand.
To start, we sit with your scheduler and a few of your doctors and learn what a fair schedule means in your group. Then we build a constraint solver around those rules. There is no configuration on your end. Each cycle we take what actually happened and dial the solver in, so the schedule that used to eat a weekend takes an evening, then an hour, then a few minutes.
A solver does not make the politics disappear. It makes them explicit, so your scheduler can explain a tradeoff and change the right rule instead of rebuilding the month by hand. The doctor is still the one making the schedule.
Proof
One group has not touched the call spreadsheet since November 2025.
Our first customer group is an independent anesthesia group in the Southeast: twenty-five physicians covering two hospitals and six surgery centers. Before us, one of the partners spent his nights and weekends building call, every month, for years.
Since November 2025, every published schedule has come through the same solver, month after month, accounting for contract employees getting their committed shifts first, partners absorbing the remainder, post-call cardiac requirements, weekend pairings the group avoids, and a year-long vacation glide path so no one physician is squeezed in December.
Is this a fit
We are careful about who we take on.
We onboard two new groups a month, because rule-capture is most of the work and we do it ourselves.
This is a fit if
You are an independent call-taking anesthesia group, usually 14 to 40 clinicians. One partner or scheduler owns call. The constraints are real (post-call, site mix, subspecialty work) and the spreadsheet is the bottleneck.
Probably not a fit
You need hospital-wide OR scheduling, you want free software, you want to configure a tool yourself, or your current process is working fine. Say so on the call and we will save us both a meeting.
The first move
Send the call rule you do not think a computer can handle.
Not a demo request. Send the constraint that has made you skeptical scheduling software can work for your group, the one a generic tool would force you to flatten into a checkbox. We read every one and reply within one business day with a straight answer either way.
