Case Study: Old Pueblo Anesthesia achieves greater efficiency, reduced costs, and improved care quality with QGenda

Improves efficiency and reduces cost, while increasing quality of healthcare services with QGenda

Old Pueblo Anesthesia (OPA), a private practice of 40+ board-certified anesthesiologists caring for over 20,000 patients annually and the exclusive anesthesia provider at Tucson Medical Center, needed a scalable, modern scheduling system to replace its home-grown OPAS platform. Manual data entry on OPAS was costly, cumbersome, and hindered growth, so OPA selected QGenda’s cloud-based provider scheduling solution to improve schedule-building speed, access, and operational efficiency.

QGenda implemented a rule-based, color-coded scheduling platform with self-scheduling, mobile/online visibility, and validation to prevent conflicts, while preserving provider preferences from the prior system. As a result, OPA eliminated temporary weekend schedulers, saved thousands in costs, increased transparency and data management, reduced scheduling conflicts, and more equitably distributed high-call shifts to support safer patient care.
