In their own words
Amion
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.
