Describe vs Amion for emergency medicine scheduling

Amion is widely used to publish on-call schedules. Describe uses AI to build the emergency medicine schedule itself. Here's how they differ.

The short version

Amion is widely used to publish and share on-call schedules. Many groups still build the schedule by hand before publishing it. Describe builds the schedule for you, in up to 10 minutes.

Where Describe differs

For EM groups, Describe:

  • Builds the schedule automatically instead of publishing one made by hand
  • Meets as many provider preferences as possible
  • Staffs each shift to predicted ED patient volume
  • Runs payroll and credentialing in the same platform

Results

Emergent Physicians of South Florida went from 8-10 hours per schedule to 1-2 hours, with 30% faster door-to-doc times across six sites.

Scheduling

AI scheduling for emergency medicine: how it works

AI scheduling builds a publishable ED provider schedule in up to 10 minutes, balancing preferences, performance, patient volume, credentials, and cost. Here's how it works for EM groups.

Payroll

Why provider payroll takes so long

Operations teams at healthcare staffing groups spend 40 to 60 hours each pay period calculating provider pay in Excel. Every provider has a different pay structure, which makes errors common.
