Surgeon Scheduling

Each surgeon's availability, leaves, and OT load — visible and managed.

Surgeons have their own availability calendar. Leaves and conferences are blocked in advance. The scheduling team sees which surgeons have capacity and which are overloaded before booking. Surgical workload reports help CMOs balance the load.
