Vocera and QGenda Announce Reseller Partnership, Systems Integration
Integrated solution will improve clinical workflows and on-call provider communication
The QGenda portfolio includes solutions for automated scheduling, time tracking, compensation management, and on-call scheduling, providing a comprehensive provider workforce management solution. The combined offering connects QGenda On-Call with the Vocera platform for better clinical communication and workflows, enabling care teams to easily communicate in real-time with the right on-call provider. Healthcare organizations can quickly build and manage optimized provider schedules and easily create and update consolidated on-call schedules. Integration between the companies’ scheduling and communication solutions saves caregivers valuable time and steps by eliminating the need to know names or phone numbers of available on-call providers to make calls and send texts.
“The partnership between QGenda and Vocera will greatly benefit our customers in the growing federal market,” said Greg Benoit, CEO and Founder at QGenda. “The integration between our solutions takes the guesswork out of who is on call; and in healthcare every second counts. No more wondering and waiting means clinical communication is faster, easier, and more accurate.”
Inside or outside the facility, shift after shift, clinicians will no longer need to manually keep track of schedules and providers. The integration automatically connects the latest schedule with the Vocera communication platform, enabling clinicians to make calls, send secure texts, and route notifications. Care team members have their choice of using a smartphone, wearable Vocera Badge, or desktop computer when connecting with on-call providers.
“In our effort to support our customers and respond to their needs, our strategy is to extend our capabilities and integrate with best-in-class enablers of real-time health systems,” said Brent Lang, president and CEO at Vocera, “The integration between Vocera and QGenda is sure to improve provider satisfaction and healthcare delivery. We can’t wait to see the positive impact it has on the lives of patients and care teams.”
