Anesthesia coverage & scheduling
Run the whole OR from one board.
The single live board an anesthesia team runs on — coverage, breaks, and assignments in real time, on the wall and in every provider's pocket.
Purpose-built for anesthesia — not a generic scheduler bent to fit.
The suite
Two products, one connected system.
The board runs the day in front of you. The schedule builds as far ahead as you want. Same roster, same people, same source of truth.
NextUP Board
The live coverage board for the day in front of you — on the wall, on the desktop, and on every phone.
- One live board. Every room, provider, and break status on one screen.
- A break engine. Relief is suggested before it's overdue, logged with a name and a time.
- In every pocket. Providers see their next assignment without asking anyone.
- Built for the wall. A TV mode that stays readable down the corridor.
- Your rooms, your stations. Configured per hospital — call, OB, float, NORA, and the rest.
- Live everywhere at once. A change on one screen lands on all of them in about a second.

NextUP Schedule
Group scheduling that builds as far ahead as you want, explains every choice, and prices what it costs.
- A real constraint solver. Week lookahead, most-constrained-first, and a repair pass — not a template fill.
- Every pick explained. The recommended provider comes with the plain-English reason why.
- Limits that hold. Rest windows, contract hours, and approved time off are enforced in the database — not just warned about.
- Fairness you can show. Call, weekend, and holiday ledgers that actively even out hours.
- Coverage you declare. Per-type, per-weekday requirements — and every open shift surfaces honestly as a gap.
- Pay built in. Claimed open shifts are priced by real cost, ranked, and paid straight through payroll.

Why NextUP
Built for this job — not adapted to it.
Most tools schedule people. Very few understand an anesthesia day — rest windows, relief, who is actually free at 11:15, and what an open shift really costs to fill.

Comparison reflects publicly documented capabilities of widely used scheduling and on-call tools as of July 2026. Happy to walk through the detail on a call.
"The 4pm scramble is just… gone. Everyone already knows where they're going next."Built by an anesthesia provider who still runs the board — designed on the floor, not in a focus group.
