MetricAid’s Scheduling Team
We know what you’re thinking. How can MetricAid handle physician scheduling from the outside? Well, here’s how it works:
The first step is for MetricAid to gain a full understanding of your department’s scheduling needs. We do this by examining: the physician preferences entered by your staff in our Scheduling Tool, the scheduling parameters defined by your department, and the individual physician contracts, along with patient demands.
With this information, we build a schedule 2 months in advance and present it to the person in charge of physician scheduling in your department.
The person in charge of physician scheduling reviews the schedule and relays any change requests to MetricAid.
Physicians may trade shifts autonomously, based on their individual preferences, using the MetricAid Scheduling Tool.
The physician schedule is finalized.
Over time, as your department’s data is collected, MetricAid will provide consulting and recommendations to help reduce wait times and to increase efficiency.
Our team is led by experienced physicians, former hospital administrators, and expert schedulers who have significant experience managing physician scheduling and developing scheduling best practices for more than 90 clients.
Physician Scheduling Management Tool
The Scheduling Tool is a powerful instrument, built for physicians and schedulers by physicians and former hospital administrators. Using proven, secure technology, the tool allows users to input preference data, and then guides our team in building the schedule. Our schedulers get to know the nuances of the people and the departments involved and can collaborate with the staff and chief to understand which areas allow for flexibility.
Features for Physicians
The tool incorporates schedule preferences to provide physicians with greater autonomy.
Physicians can view and update their schedules in real time on any device (e.g., phone, tablet, computer).
Users can sync schedules with their personal online calendars, including iCal, Outlook, Google, and more.
The tool’s Shift Reporting function clearly displays distribution and equitability.
Features for Schedulers
The tool allows schedulers to easily view and update schedules in real time on any device (e.g., phone, tablet, computer).
Schedulers can input specific physician preferences to assist with schedule generation and editing.
Users can implement parameters specific to their respective departments and physicians’ contracts.
The tool’s Shift Reporting function clearly displays distribution and equitability.

Most importantly, I feel able to make detailed scheduling requests to MetricAid that I would never ask of an individual scheduler."
