From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

QGenda LLC is a private Atlanta, GA based healthcare software company that provides an automated on-call physician scheduling software which it offers through software-as-a-service.[1] Founded in 2006, QGenda has grown to serve more than 2,500 customers in over 30 medical specialties across 5,000 hospitals. QGenda is recognized as the leading provider of automated scheduling software for healthcare providers. QGenda is used by practice groups, hospitals, academic medical centers, and enterprise health systems to build and coordinate schedules for clinicians and other medical staff.[2]

History[edit]

The idea for QGenda started in the early 2000s when QGenda CEO Greg Benoit began building physician on-call schedules by hand during his summers as a high school student. Benoit was first contacted by a family friend and neighbor who asked Benoit to construct the yearly call schedule for an Atlanta based anesthesia practice. Benoit was challenged to use technology to generate a fair and equitable Call Schedule for the anesthesia practice.[3] After studying what the practice was doing previously to construct their schedules with pen and paper, Benoit used Microsoft Excel in an attempt to digitize the schedule building process.

The following year, Benoit was offered the same project in addition to a similar request from an Atlanta based radiology group. After spending countless hours in Excel the previous year, Benoit decided to incorporate Excel macros to improve and streamline the process.

By the time Benoit began attending Miami University[4] he was scheduling for a handful of medical groups across several specialties. Benoit studied Computer Science and upon graduation from Miami University made the choice to forgo opportunities with large software companies as an entry level software developer to move home to Atlanta and found QGenda, a fully web based automated scheduling solution.[5]

QGenda.com launched in January 2008 and singed up it's first 100 customers in its first year. Today, QGenda schedules over 170,000 healthcare providers across more than thirty medical specialties.[6]

In June 2016, San Francisco based private equity firm Francisco Partners made a strategic growth investment in QGenda.[7]
