The Real Cost of EM Clinician Scheduling
See how flat-rate, per-group pricing stacks up against per-physician scheduling software — and why automation that actually gets used beats automation that doesn't.
Estimate your savings
Enter your group size above to estimate what you'd pay per-clinician elsewhere — and what you'd save with flat-rate pricing.
Figures are illustrative. Competitor pricing varies and is often quote-based; your actual cost elsewhere may differ.
A real-world example
Take a medium-sized EM group of roughly 50 clinicians. At industry-average per-clinician pricing (~$23/clinician/month), that's about $1,150/month — roughly $13,800/year.
On EM Scheduling's medium flat tier ($350/month, $4,200/year), that same group saves about $800/month — roughly $9,600/year.

Not all automation is created equal
Most large, established scheduling vendors still rely on a human scheduler building schedules by hand. Their automation can't absorb the real variability inside a clinician group — the per-clinician rules, the nocturnist coverage, the variable monthly hours, the constant stream of requests — so the automation goes unused, and you're back to a spreadsheet.
EM Scheduling is built to actually be used, and to save the scheduler real time — both on initial schedule creation and on ongoing administration. The system runs internal viability checks on every request and only surfaces a request to the scheduler for approval once it has been approved by all relevant parties and proven to be a viable request within the current scheduling context.
What sets us apart
Automated, optimized schedule generation
Generate complete, optimized monthly schedules automatically instead of building them by hand.
Built-in shift equity tracking & enforcement
Shift burden is tracked and balanced across the group automatically, and enforced in every generated schedule.
Auto-balances your fast and slow clinicians
Avoids scheduling two very slow — or two very fast — clinicians together. This is unique to EM Scheduling.
Easy custom rules per clinician
Set custom scheduling rules for any individual clinician without wrestling with a rigid template.
Automatic holiday tracking & trading
Automatic holiday tracking, with clinician-to-clinician holiday trading — just like our shift trades.
Clinician-initiated shift trades
Clinicians offer and trade their own shifts directly, with built-in approval — no scheduler middleman.
Per-schedule & per-clinician wellbeing scores
A wellbeing score for every generated schedule, plus an individual score per clinician that combines their personal preference alignment with evidence-based circadian-rhythm priorities.
Smart, fully-vetted request handling
Internal viability and approval checks surface a request to the scheduler only once it has been approved by all relevant parties and proven viable within the current scheduling context.
One system for clinicians and residents
Emergency departments that also run a residency will be able to display clinician shift schedules and residency schedules together in one system.
