What it is

Amion is scheduling software for medical groups, hospitals, and health systems to build and share on-call and shift schedules. Its tools use rules, patterns, templates, and an autoscheduler. Staff can submit work or time-off requests and swap shifts when those options are enabled for their schedule. Departments can bring their schedules together in a central hospital-wide on-call list. The mobile app supports two-way secure messaging; messages sent from the Who’s On List are one-way broadcasts. Amion lists integrations with Epic, American Messaging, Spok, Verizon, LightningBolt, QGenda, SAML-compatible SSO providers, and Imprivata products. LightningBolt and QGenda integrations display Amion schedules in those applications only in the outgoing direction. Browser access supports schedule viewing, requests, editing, swaps, and personal schedule access across platforms. The OnCall desktop scheduler runs on Windows, while Amion says Macs can run it through Winebottler or Windows emulators. Pricing is on request; listed plans are Pro, Enterprise, and Residency.

Amion in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

Amion is a scheduling system for coordinating medical on-call coverage and shift work. It is best suited to hospitals, health systems, medical groups, and residency programs that need structured schedules across services. Its central hospital-wide view is a strong reason to consider it; custom pricing makes budget comparison harder.

Key features

Coordinators can build schedules with rules, patterns, templates, and an autoscheduler. That range can accommodate recurring coverage needs without forcing teams into a single scheduling method. Staff can submit work and time-off requests and swap shifts when those functions are enabled for their schedule. Self-scheduling, availability management, open-shift management, and shift templates are also supported, but teams should confirm which workflows will be enabled for them.

Amion can combine department schedules into a hospital-wide on-call list, useful when staff need to find coverage across services rather than consult separate schedules. Its mobile app supports two-way secure messaging. Messages sent from the Who’s On List, by contrast, are one-way broadcasts, which suit announcements but not back-and-forth coordination.

Integrations include Epic, American Messaging, Spok, Verizon, LightningBolt, QGenda, SAML-compatible SSO providers, and Imprivata products. The LightningBolt and QGenda integrations send Amion schedules into those applications; they do not provide a return path. Amion says mobile messages are encrypted in transit and on Doximity servers, with content removed from temporary device storage when the app closes. Its app security also cites end-to-end 256-bit AES encryption, SSL with 2048-bit RSA, NIST Level 3 certification, and cryptographic modules validated to FIPS 140-2 Level 1+ standards.

Pricing

Amion is paid software with custom pricing. Pro includes up to 10 schedules, self-serve setup, mobile and desktop access, and custom rules. It is the clearest fit for smaller teams that can manage setup themselves; the 10-schedule cap makes it less suitable for organizations coordinating many departments.

Enterprise removes that schedule cap and adds organization-wide settings and controls, EHR and SSO integrations, dedicated implementation and client success, training and onboarding, and usage and compliance reporting. It is aimed at organizations that need centralized administration and a supported rollout. Residency is a more focused option: it covers one residency schedule with self-serve setup, mobile and desktop access, and block scheduling. None of the three plans has a published price, so buyers need a quote to compare costs.

Platforms

Amion supports Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Schedule viewing, work requests, online editing, swaps, and personal schedule access work in internet browsers on any platform. The OnCall desktop scheduler runs on Windows; on Macs, Amion says it can run through Winebottler or Windows emulators such as Parallels and VMware Fusion. Support is by email and phone during regular business hours Monday through Friday, 6:00 am–5:00 pm Pacific, with 24-hour urgent support.

Who it's for

Amion suits hospitals and health systems that need to consolidate departmental on-call schedules, as well as medical groups and residency programs with repeatable coverage workflows. Residency is tailored to a single program schedule and block scheduling; Enterprise is the stronger match when organization-wide controls and implementation support matter. Teams that need two-way messaging should use the mobile app rather than rely on Who’s On List broadcasts.

Pros and cons

Pro: Rules, patterns, templates, and autoscheduling give coordinators several ways to handle recurring coverage.

Pro: A hospital-wide on-call list brings department schedules into one view.

Pro: Mobile messaging supports two-way communication, with stated encryption and device-storage protections.

Con: Pricing is custom, so cost cannot be weighed against schedule volume before contacting sales.

Con: Requests and swaps depend on whether those tools are enabled for a schedule.

Con: LightningBolt and QGenda integrations are one-way, limiting what those connections can synchronize.

Alternatives

For a broader residency-focused shortlist, browse Medical Residency Scheduling Software; for organization-wide healthcare shift tools, see Healthcare Staff Scheduling Software.

TigerConnect Physician Scheduling is another paid option with Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows support; its enterprise-wide pricing is handled through sales. Aurora-Med is another paid option, with Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows platforms. Lightning Bolt uses per-seat licenses, and a net increase in scheduled individuals requires additional licenses; that model is worth weighing against Amion’s custom pricing.

CoverED may suit residency programs that want a published bundled license: it costs $30 a month, billed $25/mo annual, and includes a separate workspace, resident roles, custom rotation blocks, and per-block site assignment. GME Manager offers a 30-day self-guided pilot at free, with no credit card or commitment to convert. MedHub and New Innovations are other paid options. Resident Vacation Scheduler has a free iOS plan for up to five residents and a paid Starter plan at $299 as a one-time purchase, covering one GME academic year.

Verdict

Choose Amion if your hospital, medical group, or residency program needs configurable schedules tied to a consolidated on-call view. The main reason to choose it is that combination of schedule-building tools and cross-department visibility. Look elsewhere if you need predictable published pricing or a two-way LightningBolt or QGenda integration.

Verdict

Amion combines schedule building, staff requests, and hospital-wide views with mobile messaging and web access. Teams should note that pricing is on request and two listed integrations are one-way.
