MetricAid Standard
A wealth of experience has gone into the development of MetricAid’s scheduling tool. Strategically designed with input from physicians, former hospital administrators, expert schedulers, and software specialists, the application reflects a deep understanding of physician scheduling details.
At the core of the tool’s design is our savvy team. These dedicated people work hard to make the lives of physicians and schedulers easier.
Scheduling without the spreadsheets
Everything in Standard reduces the burden of scheduling and makes the results fairer:
One source of scheduling truth. View and update the schedule in real time on any device: no more competing spreadsheets, paper systems, or version control issues.
Physician preferences built in. Physicians set their own preferences and trade shifts easily, meaning more autonomy over scheduling.
Configured to your department. From day one, the schedule reflects the parameters that are unique to your department and your physicians' contracts.
Less back-and-forth. Schedulers spend less time chasing changes and reconciling requests.
Transparent, equitable distribution. Shift Reporting shows exactly how shifts are spread across the team.
We’ll let our stats do the talking.

How it works
With your department’s parameters in place, scheduling becomes simpler. Physicians enter their preferences and requests; schedulers generate the schedule and make adjustments as things change. Shift trades happen directly between physicians, and everyone sees the same up-to-date schedule.

What Standard delivers
Every department has scheduling realities that spreadsheets can't express: contracts, site coverage, shift limits, and the accommodations that real people need. Standard is built with flexible parameters rather than rigid rules, so if your department works a certain way, the schedule can too. A few examples of what Standard can handle:
Provider A works the 9 a.m.–4 p.m. shift every Monday
All providers must work 120 hours per month
A provider who works a morning shift at one site can't work an evening shift at another
"Our emergency department recently transitioned to MetricAid scheduling, and where I used to have to juggle through 23 different doctors’ individual Excel spreadsheets and handwritten notes and spend roughly 10-12 hours per month making the schedule, I can now easily make the schedule in 2-3 hours."
