This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically determining medical professional assignments to provide medical care. In some examples, a computing device receives a case alert for a case for a facility, and determines a plurality of physicians credentialed at the facility. The computing device determines an availability status of each of the physicians based on an availability schedule, and further determines a credentialing index for each of the physicians. Each credentialing index can be based on a forecasted demand of each of a plurality of facilities that each of the physicians is credentialed for. The computing device determines one of the physicians based on the availability status and the credentialing index of each of the plurality of physicians. The computing device then generates a case request for the case for the first physician, and transmits the case request for assignment.
