QGenda Alternative for Managed Schedule Creation
Stop building schedules in QGenda. Scheduling Wizard delivers complete, ACGME-compliant block, call, and clinic schedules as ready-to-use Excel files.
Why Programs Look Beyond QGenda
QGenda puts the scheduling burden on your team. These are the pain points programs tell us most.
Software Still Requires Manual Work
QGenda gives you scheduling tools, but your chief residents still spend hundreds of hours configuring rules, building schedules, and fixing conflicts manually.
Knowledge Lost Every Year
When chiefs rotate annually, hard-won scheduling knowledge walks out the door. New chiefs start from scratch inside complex software with no institutional memory.
Compliance Falls on Your Team
Verifying ACGME duty hour compliance in self-service software is a manual, error-prone process — leaving your program exposed to violations and accreditation risk.
What Scheduling Wizard Does That QGenda Cannot
Scheduling Wizard handles schedule creation and optimization end-to-end so your team focuses on running the program, not operating software.
Managed Service
Schedule Creation Done For You
Unlike QGenda, Scheduling Wizard is a done-for-you managed service. Submit your constraints and receive a finished, publishable schedule as an Excel file. No software to configure, no training required, no annual ramp-up when chiefs rotate.
- No software to learn
- Finished schedules delivered to you
- Works alongside your existing QGenda
ACGME Compliance
Compliance Built In at Generation
ACGME duty hour rules are mathematically enforced at the moment the schedule is generated, not manually checked afterward. Subspecialty-specific rules are built into the engine so compliance is never left to interpretation.
- Violations prevented at generation
- Subspecialty rules built in
- 80-hour and rest rules enforced
Program Continuity
Scheduling Knowledge That Persists
Your program's scheduling rules, constraints, and configurations live with Scheduling Wizard permanently. When your chief residents rotate, incoming chiefs inherit a working, optimized system instead of a blank spreadsheet.
- Rules preserved year over year
- No annual software retraining
- New chiefs start with a working system
Block Scheduling
Optimized Rotation Schedules Generated
Scheduling Wizard generates year-long block rotation schedules that respect PGY-level requirements, elective preferences, coverage minimums, and ACGME rotation mandates — fully optimized, not manually assembled.
- PGY-level requirements respected
- Elective preferences factored in
- Coverage minimums enforced
Schedule Coordination
Block, Call and Clinic Synchronized
Block, call, clinic, and attending schedules are optimized simultaneously. A change in one automatically propagates across the others, eliminating the cascade of manual fixes that plague programs using self-service tools.
- All schedule types optimized together
- Changes propagate automatically
- No manual cross-schedule patching
