CoverED is scheduling software for emergency medicine groups, including single-site and multi-site emergency departments, residency programs, and schedule administrators. It builds monthly schedules using a six-pass algorithm that considers requests and configured constraints, fills NOC shifts first, and balances weekends. Its model covers AM, PM, and NOC shifts, separates nocturnist roles, and supports one to four APP slots per day depending on the plan. Providers can submit availability, block dates, request shifts or PTO, trade named shifts, and claim open shifts from a phone. The software tracks shift and weekend equity, provides three-month rolling burnout indicators, and carries deficits into later months. Published schedules sync to Apple, Google, or Outlook calendars; PDF and CSV exports and email and SMS digests are available. Residency tools include block scheduling and ACGME duty-hour checks. CoverED offers a mobile-friendly web app with PWA installation. Paid plans include setup, and any plan includes a free 30-minute guided walkthrough.
