H2-O2.com - Scheduling Software for Medical Residents

H2-O2 is a medical residency scheduling tool. Schedules are organized via blocks for one year of the department or program—for example a block might represent two days. All residents can be added to the blocks using one interface. Visiting residents can be listed separately and added to schedules based on their visiting dates. Shifts and calls for schedules can be created with one click using the Typical Week feature. Holidays and other circumstances can be adjusted around the regular shift and call times. Additionally, H2-O2 keeps track of requests for days off, visiting residents, minimum time required between shifts or calls, number of weekend calls or shifts, number of day shifts and nightshifts, and desired number of calls for each resident. Automatic highlighting shows candidates who qualify for shifts—there’s also an instant pro and cons bubble which shows up before you add a resident to a particular shift. Mistakes are highlighted in red, while free personnel are indicated in green. There’s a free trial version available. More features will be added as time goes on.
