MedAligna
MedAligna schedules healthcare staff and applies rules for credentials, rest, staffing ratios, and duty hours.
What MedAligna is
MedAligna schedules healthcare staff and applies rules for credentials, rest, staffing ratios, and duty hours. It is intended for clinics, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care agencies, and is listed for Android, iOS, and web. Nurses can choose shifts during seniority-tiered windows with limits, while selections are checked against scheduling rules. Shift swaps are screened for conflicts such as double-booking, insufficient rest, and expired credentials before approval. The system checks required credentials through the end of a shift and refuses assignments when a credential will have expired. Managers can enter census by unit and shift to compare required and actual staffing with acuity weighting. Calendar sync is listed for Google, Outlook, and Apple. Pro and Enterprise include payroll export, but MedAligna does not calculate net pay, withhold taxes, or transfer employee money. Plans are billed per location monthly: Starter is 99.00 USD, Pro is 149.00 USD, and Enterprise is 249.00 USD. Plans include a 14-day trial without a card. The maker describes data separation, TLS, encryption at rest, and an append-only audit log for changes.

Who it suits
MedAligna suits healthcare facilities that need staff scheduling with credential, rest, and staffing rules. Organizations needing payroll calculation or employee payments should note that the service exports hours but does not perform those functions.
Verdict
MedAligna combines healthcare scheduling rules with shift, credential, and staffing checks. Its plans are priced per location, and payroll functions stop at exporting hours.
