ShiftMed, an artificial intelligence-based healthcare workforce technology platform, has made an announcement regarding their latest technical integration with QGenda, a leading provider of healthcare workforce management software. This technical integration creates a live linkage between the scheduling system provided by QGenda and ShiftMed’s community of local, credentialed clinicians. The automation will help hospitals to fill up their open shifts promptly and manage their scheduling efficiently.
Under the joint capability, open shifts automatically flow between QGenda and ShiftMed without requiring administrative teams to manage disparate platforms. Healthcare facilities retain granular administrative control, allowing leaders to configure shift-sharing parameters based on local operational requirements. By automating scheduling workflows and eliminating manual data entry, the integrated systems reduce administrative overhead, mitigate scheduling errors, and cut premium labor spend.
“Healthcare organizations need labor solutions that integrate seamlessly with their existing workforce operations,” said Todd Walrath, CEO of ShiftMed. “Our integration with QGenda helps organizations respond more efficiently to changing staffing needs by connecting scheduling technology with a network of local, qualified clinicians. Together, we’re helping health systems streamline workforce management, improve operational efficiency, and ensure the right staff are available when they’re needed most.”

Real-Time Synchronization Between Workforce Systems
With the connection of the scheduling system with the availability of clinicians, the integration makes open shifts fulfillment an automatic one-step procedure.
Key capabilities of the integration are:
Automatic Shift Assignments: Qualified open shifts created in QGenda are automatically presented to qualified and local clinicians on the ShiftMed platform.
Bi-Directional Schedule Synchronization: Instant synchronization of shift assignments and cancellations from both platforms is provided.
Less Administrative Hassle: The process of schedule management becomes centralized; no manual contact, calls, and monitoring of the processes in different software applications are required anymore.
Operational Control: Administrators can decide on the sharing of shifts outside the organization, staying aligned with their workforce strategy.
“Effective workforce management is about giving healthcare organizations the tools to respond quickly when plans change,” said Greg Benoit, CEO of QGenda. “Combining QGenda’s scheduling capabilities with ShiftMed’s network of qualified clinicians gives our customers a more connected approach to managing open shifts by helping reduce administrative complexity while keeping operations running smoothly.”
Mitigating Labor Shortages with Flexible Workforce Tech
While health systems continue struggling with nationwide staff shortages, high costs associated with overtime, and burnout of clinicians, shift management using technology is emerging as one of the key pillars. With the help of linking enterprise scheduling technology with a demand-driven workforce marketplace, ShiftMed and QGenda offer health systems a solution that can ensure labor costs remain predictable.
The ShiftMed and QGenda integration is available immediately to healthcare organizations nationwide. Healthcare administrators, nurse executives, and operations leaders can learn more about configuring real-time shift synchronization by visiting ShiftMed’s official platform.
