Customizable Rules
Every client gets a dedicated technical consultant for life to help create custom rules and manage updates. Whether you prefer hands-on support or want to handle updates independently, we're here to support your approach.
Equalization Rules
Ensure fair distribution of workload across your team. They automatically balance assignments like call schedules, weekend shifts, and other duties, so no one provider gets overloaded.
EXAMPLE
All MDs must be scheduled in the cath lab one day per week
Minimum / Maximum Rules
Set limits on how often providers can work specific shifts or roles. They help prevent burnout while ensuring adequate coverage by controlling maximum assignments and guaranteeing minimum staffing levels.
EXAMPLE
Only 3 providers can have vacation on the same day
If / Then Rules
Create conditional logic for your scheduling needs. They automatically trigger specific actions when certain conditions are met, like "if Provider A is scheduled for X, then also schedule Provider B for Y."
EXAMPLE
If you scheduled an echo then schedule a STEMI for the following day
Preference Rules
Accommodate individual provider preferences and requirements. They help create schedules that work better for your team by respecting personal constraints, preferred assignments, and recurring commitments.
EXAMPLE

FAQs
Does your solution know which locations my providers are credentialed for?
Yes, Lightning Bolt allows you to select which assignments (locations) each individual is able to be scheduled for. This applies to automated scheduling as well as manual changes.
Does your team set up the scheduling rules, or can I?
We assist with initial setup and training. Users can choose to maintain the system themselves or rely on our support. If the rules change, we can also handle it or you can do it yourself.
Is there a limit on the number of providers or shifts the system can schedule?
No, our system can handle schedules for large groups with no technical limits on providers or tasks.
Do you integrate with other solutions?
Yes, we recommend integrating to enhance workforce management and operational efficiency. Check out some of our integrations.
Is this cardiology scheduling software only for large groups, or can it help small practices?
Yes, it can help smaller practices! Many of our smaller practices find Lightning Bolt to be very beneficial to have one source of truth and be able to easily submit time-off requests, make last minute shift swaps, create optimal holiday schedules, access schedules on mobile, and overall experience an increase in convenience.
What is the key difference between Lightning Bolt and other products on the market?
Unlike other products that simply digitize manual scheduling, Lightning Bolt uses an AI-enabled process called combinatorial optimization to identify the best solution—in this case, a schedule—from a finite set of possibilities. By considering multiple variables such as staff availability, skill sets, and shift preferences, combinatorial optimization allows Lightning Bolt to rapidly identify the optimal schedule that maximizes resource utilization while meeting organizational constraints. This process advances operational efficiency, improves staff satisfaction by building fairer schedules, and enhances patient care by ensuring that the right personnel are in the right place at the right time.
