8. Founded on Innovation
In the late ’
90s, Lightning Bolt founder and CEO, Suvas Vajracharya, was working as a staff
scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to schedule massively parallel
supercomputers.
A high school friend and doctor approached Suvas with the deceptively complex and time-
consuming task of creating call schedules for his group. Both supercomputing and physician
scheduling require tasks be distributed equally and efficiently in the presence of complex
and often conflicting rules of varying priorities.
Suvas applied his own research plus decades more on scheduling supercomputers to the
complexities inherent to physician scheduling and developed a prototype of what would
become the most cutting-edge physician scheduling platform on the market.
Founded in 2002, Lightning Bolt continues to invest heavily in research and innovation to
solve complex problems in the area of physician scheduling using the latest technology.

9. Lightning Bolt is dedicated to creating balanced and efficient hospital
workforces through optimized physician scheduling. Since 2002, we've worked
to align complex interests and bring transparency to healthcare operations.
Lightning Bolt serves over 300 clients across the U.S., Canada, Japan and
Australia, managing over 3 million physician shift hours each month.
