ProductShift Swaps

Handle a sick day without rebuilding the roster.

When a doctor can no longer cover a duty, they request a swap in the app and see teammates who can take it. PlanMyRounds only offers swaps that keep every rule intact.

Free for up to 10 doctors. No credit card.

No midnight calls. No broken rules.

A swap is a change to the roster, so it is checked like one. Coverage, rest and working hours hold after every swap.

From My Duties in the app, a doctor picks the duty and sees the teammates who can cover it, sorted by best match.

A doctor selects the duty in the app and sees teammates who can cover it, sorted by best match. PlanMyRounds validates the swap against every hard rule before it is approved, then updates the roster for everyone.
Can a swap break a rest or coverage rule?
No. Every swap is validated against all hard constraints, including coverage and rest after night duty, before it is approved.
Is there a record of swaps?

Do doctors need to call around to find cover?
