In this episode of The Backtable Podcast, host Dr. Michael Barraza and guest Dr. Brandon St. Amant have an in-depth discussion about QGenda, an online scheduling solution. Both doctors practice interventional radiology at Radiology Associates in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They discuss the initial setup process, from rule setting to managing shift assignments and creating transparency among the team. The key points of the conversation include the concept of the ‘holiday schedule’, the ‘buy sell system’ for open shifts, and making ‘longer schedules’ for predictability. The episode emphasizes the ongoing role of the scheduler and the need to build trust when transitioning to an electronic system like QGenda. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Medtronic HawkOne Directional Atherectomy System https://www.medtronic.com/hawkone Reflow Medical https://www.reflowmedical.com/ --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Introduction 03:08 - The Challenges of Manual Scheduling 05:00 - Transition to QGenda 09:34 - The Role of Excel in Scheduling 22:06 - Handling Holiday Schedules 26:50 - Buy-Sell System for Shifts 33:17 - Final Tips for Effective Scheduling --- RESOURCES QGenda: https://www.qgenda.com/
