Amion vs Calerity

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.

Calerity is web-based automated scheduling software for academic medicine programs, physician groups and other medical training programs with complex, connected assignments. Its proprietary AI engine applies each organization’s rules and requirements to generate schedules, while users can adjust results and check conflicts. The service supports rotation scheduling, call scheduling and coverage rules, and can collect time-off requests while distributing rotations, vacations and less popular assignments more evenly. Custom reports and visualizations help with staffing plans. Calerity describes a full-service process: scheduling specialists configure the system, programs share current schedules, teams review drafts, make adjustments and publish final schedules. Additional support includes X+Y scheduling, curriculum targets, unplanned absences and complement changes. Pricing is paid and available on request; the academic medicine page directs programs to request a consultation. Plum Flower Software is credited as developer.
