Illustrative day. Assignments only — no patient names.

The day still starts with a screenshot of the OR schedule in a group text.

Call, time off, and room assignments are scattered across text threads, screenshots, and spreadsheets. None of them is the record.

  1. 01

    Texts, screenshots, and spreadsheets

    The real schedule is whichever version someone remembered to update. They do not agree.

  2. 02

    Screenshots in the group text

    Patient names included, sent so people know where to be.

  3. 03

    No data for administration

    When the day is over, there is no record of who was assigned, who was off, or which rooms actually ran.

One place for the day.

Built for how an anesthesia department actually assigns people.

  • Call schedule

    Who is on, who is backup, and who is post-call, published to the whole group.

  • Time-off requests

    Ask, approve, and see the holes before they become a morning surprise.

  • Daily OR room assignments

    Who is in which room, without passing around schedule screenshots.

  • One-tap group texts

    Reach the call team or the whole department without hunting for the thread.

  • Meditech OR-schedule sync

    A read-only feed of the OR schedule, so assignments follow the day as it changes.

  • Department stats

    Case volume, provider workload, and room use, for the people who have to explain the day.

Hospital IT stays in control.

ReliefCall is a scheduling tool. It is not a chart, and it does not keep a copy of one.

  • Read-only, one-way HL7 feed of the OR schedule only.
  • Patient identifiers are stripped before anything is stored.
  • No patient data in the app.
  • Login-protected.
  • Hospital IT stays in control of the feed.

One direction. The OR schedule only.

  1. Meditech OR

    Source schedule

  2. HL7 feed

    Read-only, one way

  3. Strip identifiers

    Before anything is stored

  4. ReliefCall

    Assignments only

A department you can see.

Scheduling stops being a courtesy and starts being a record.

  • Efficiency and data

    The day is assigned once. No more copying between screenshots, spreadsheets, and text threads.

  • Fewer missed assignments

    Call, time off, and rooms are the same list. A gap shows up before the first case.

  • Visibility into anesthesia workload

    Case volume, who carried it, and which rooms ran — visible to the people running the department.

Anesthesia first.

Built for anesthesia, then expanding to the ER, surgeons, and hospitalists. Same idea in each: call, time off, assignments, and a schedule feed the hospital already runs.

  1. 01

    Anesthesia

    Now

    Call, time off, OR assignments, and the Meditech feed.

  2. 02

    Emergency department

    Next

    The same pattern, for a schedule that changes even faster.

  3. 03

    Surgeons

    Next

    Who is operating, and where, without a side channel.

  4. 04

    Hospitalists

    Next

    Coverage and assignments for the teams around the OR.

Built by clinicians

Created by a practicing anesthesiologist.

ReliefCall was created by a practicing anesthesiologist who lived the problem every day — assigning the rooms, covering call, and watching screenshots of the OR schedule, patient names included, get texted around so the team knew where to go. The product is the schedule they wanted: call, time off, room assignments, and a group text, with patient identifiers stripped before anything is stored.
