Computerized house officer schedules at the University of Michigan.
An economical, computerized system was developed for producing the annual schedule of monthly assignments for medical house officers. This program can generate schedules that conform to the individual preferences of the house officers while meeting the requirements of the residency program. As a result, more individual requests of the house officers are granted than under the previous manual system. Besides providing these direct benefits, the system ensures that house officers are assigned to each rotation according to their appropriate level of skill.
