QGenda

Healthcare workforce scheduling with built-in credentialing and enrollment

Our take

QGenda, founded in Atlanta in 2006, built the dominant automated physician scheduling product and expanded it into a healthcare workforce management platform: on-call scheduling, time and attendance, clinical capacity management, and a credentialing module that handles credentialing, privileging, and payer enrollment from the same provider record that drives schedules. More than 4,500 healthcare organizations use it, from single-specialty groups to enterprise health systems like Nebraska Methodist, which standardized scheduling and time tracking on the platform.

After growth investments from Francisco Partners and ICONIQ Growth (about $51 million raised), Hearst acquired QGenda in 2024 and placed it in the Hearst Health portfolio alongside FDB, MCG, and Homecare Homebase. In July 2025 it bought New Innovations, the largest residency management software vendor, and in May 2026 it shipped a certified Workday HCM integration, positioning QGenda as the healthcare-specific layer beside enterprise HR. For credentialing buyers, the draw is one provider data spine across scheduling, credentialing, and enrollment rather than a standalone credentialing tool.

What it does

  • Physician and staff scheduling automation
  • Credentialing, privileging, and payer enrollment
  • On-call scheduling and clinical communication
  • Time and attendance with compensation tracking
  • Room and clinical capacity management
  • Residency management via New Innovations

Where it's strong

  • Scheduling data feeds credentialing and payroll, killing duplicate provider records across systems.
  • Deep healthcare specialization: 4,500+ customer organizations across 30+ medical specialties.
  • Hearst Health ownership brings stability and adjacent assets like MCG and FDB.

What buyers should weigh

  • Credentialing is a newer module than scheduling; standalone credentialing vendors go deeper.
  • Per-provider pricing gets expensive as you extend from physicians to nurses and staff.
  • Full workforce rollouts across a health system take real change management, not just setup.
