Event medical scheduling software

Every station covered.
Every cert current.

Standby is event medical scheduling software for the crews who staff live events. You build the coverage with whoever's paying for it, put people on stations, run the day from one board, and finish with a record of what was actually covered.

It was built for event security, on site, by someone who ran those sites for 18 years. The problem turned out to be the same one you have. There's a roster, a clock, and a client expecting what they paid for.

The station nobody's on

A medic leaves an aid station to help with a patient at the far end of the grounds. Somebody covers. That somebody was on a station too.

Now there's a station with nobody on it, created for a perfectly good reason, which is exactly why nobody flags it. It stays that way until someone walks past and notices.

Standby catches it at the moment you make the move. You start the break or the reassignment and pick who covers in one step. If that person was holding a station, the newly empty one floats to the top of the board, and the relief chain writes itself into the record while you're still keying it in.

Certs get checked before anyone goes on station

Anything with an expiration date is a problem waiting for the worst possible moment to become yours. Standby tracks certifications and their expiry dates, and check-in is where that pays off.

When someone checks in, their credentials get checked in the same pass as their radio and their gear. Anything expired surfaces while the person is still standing in front of you, when you can still do something about it.

One station, one person

A station in Standby is always a single assignment. Two medics on the same aid station means two lines on the board, tracked separately, so each one can be covered and reported on by itself. The same goes for a BLS station, an ALS station, and every roving team you're running.

A station that's half-staffed reads as covered on a spreadsheet. On the board it reads as half-staffed.

The record an authority asks for

Coverage is contractual, and sometimes it's regulatory too. Some EMS authorities want a staffing plan filed before the event and a treatment report filed after it. A fire marshal can ask a venue to show how many trained crowd managers were on site for its occupant load.

Standby covers the staffing half of that. You get coverage of record, station by station, measured against the plan your client signed off on before the event started. When the authority having jurisdiction asks what you had on the ground, the answer is already written down.

It works where the signal doesn't

Aid stations have a way of ending up in the exact spots where reception dies. The live board works offline, and moves save on the device and sync when the signal comes back.

Priced per event, from $100

Tiers are sized by staff-hours, meaning the total staffed time across the event, so a single first aid post on a Saturday and a 9-day festival don't pay the same. There's no per-user fee and no seat minimum, because a roster that exists for one weekend shouldn't be billed like a permanent one. The pricing page shows the three tiers and where an event your size lands.

Standby doesn't collect availability from your crew. That stays in whatever you already use. From there you can schedule inside Standby or import a schedule you've already built.
