MedAligna

What it is
MedAligna schedules healthcare staff while applying rules for credentials, rest, staffing ratios, and duty hours. It is described for clinics, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care agencies, and is available on the web, Android, and iOS. Nurses can select shifts during seniority-tiered windows with caps, with selections checked against rules as they are made. Shift swaps are screened for conflicts such as double-booking, inadequate rest, and expired credentials before approval. Credential checks cover the whole shift, and the system blocks an assignment if a required credential will expire before it ends. Managers enter census by unit and shift to compare required and actual staffing with acuity weighting. Calendar sync is listed for Google, Outlook, and Apple; payroll export is included in Pro and above. MedAligna exports hours but does not calculate net pay, withhold taxes, or transfer money. Plans are billed per location: Starter is $99 a month, Pro is $149 a month, and Enterprise is $249 a month. Each includes a 14-day trial without a card.
