SuperPagr
Intensive care

ICU shift schedules no spreadsheets, no blind trade-offs

Round-the-clock care, senior/junior supervision, fair workload: in the ICU every schedule directly affects patient safety and team resilience. SuperPagr encodes your rules once and produces a schedule everyone reads from the same place.

What weighs on teams day to day

Four difficulties come up in almost every ICU team.

24/7 coverage with no gaps

An ICU never closes: nights, weekends, public holidays, school breaks. Manually checking that every shift and on-call slot is covered, month after month, is thankless work — and a single oversight is paid for in the middle of the night.

Senior/junior supervision to guarantee

A resident must not end up alone on a shift that requires an attending. Supervision ratios, supervised shifts, junior-specific caps: these vital rules often live in the head of the department head, not in the spreadsheet.

Fairness under pressure

Nights, weekends, long shifts: when distribution becomes uneven, fatigue sets in and tension follows quickly. Without a reliable counter, it is hard to prove to a colleague that they are not being short-changed.

Every sick leave restarts the whole thing

One sick leave, one maternity leave, one training day: you have to find out at short notice who can take the shift while respecting rest rules and skills, usually through messages sent to the whole team.

How SuperPagr answers

Features that already exist in the product, designed for exactly these situations.

  1. Day, night, long-duration rotations and on-call duty

    Define your rotations once ("Night Shift" 8pm-8am, "On-site on-call"), the engine generates every shift for the period. Shifts and on-call duty coexist on one schedule or on dedicated lines.

  2. Supervision encoded as constraints

    Senior / junior / resident groups with their own rules: a shift supervised by an attending, a maximum of consecutive nights, no late shifts for specific situations. Legal rules (rest after a shift, hour caps) are never violated by the solver.

  3. Fairness measured, not claimed

    Gini coefficient, FTE standard deviation, gap to quota: schedule statistics show in black and white how workload and nights are distributed, before publication as well as after.

  4. Targeted replacements instead of mass messaging

    A vacant shift goes out as a call for applications only to eligible members (skills, availability, approved leave). The administrator picks a candidate, the shift is assigned automatically.
