TL;DR: It’s time for administrative software in hospitals to change

Administrative tasks like scheduling and payroll consume extremely valuable time in hospital departments and clinics, diverting focus from patient care.

Docflow automates these back-office operations with a customizable solution, saving healthcare administrators and providers—including chief residents, doctors, and fellows—hundreds of hours. This allows them to concentrate on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care.

The Problem: "Wait, I thought I'd be saving lives—not excel files?!"

Doctors spend almost 20% of their working hours (and plenty more in additional hours) doing administrative work. We saw this first-hand with our parents and siblings who are doctors that devoted their lives to help people only to spend a large percentage of their time in Excel.

This inefficiency stems from a gap in healthcare software. While modern solutions heavily focus on hospital-patient interactions, they often neglect a connection just as important: the relation between the hospital to provider. Because of the dozens of rules and regulations, in addition to the lack of effective tools, providers are forced into doing complex back-office tasks that consume valuable time and energy.

After initially starting at Harvard’s Psychiatry Residency program, Docflow has been able to handle dozens complex rules, regulations, and program-specific information to safely create the most efficient program schedules. This centralized source of truth is vital for providing critical information to administrative tasks such as managing graduation requirements, processing payroll, ensuring compliance, and much more. By streamlining these processes, Docflow empowers programs to operate more efficiently and focus on what truly matters—delivering incredible patient care.

Customizable, Simple, and Intelligent Software:

With AI, we’re able to add a layer of customizability in administrative software not previously seen before. Now, when you want to factor in John, who loves working Friday shifts, or Mary who is on Maternity leave — or any of the various things your previous software just could not understand (by anything, we truly mean anything) — Docflow can do that with ease in just plain English.

Docflow is a simple solution for hospital’s most complex problems.

Moving Forward:

Although we initially focused on scheduling for residency programs, our main goal is to tackle as much complexity as possible in administrative work. We believe we can fundamentally transform extremely complex administrative tasks, allowing software to handle the work for you with ease.

Our Team

Michael and Ben met during their first few weeks at Rice University where they lived, built software, and studied applied mathematics and computer science together before deciding to drop out.

Michael - Michael grew up in Madison, WI—the headquarters of the largest medical software company in the US—born to two physician parents and grew up hearing about its shortcomings. His mom works in the internal medicine residency program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Michael founded his first company, Calceus Mining, in high school, building and optimizing Ethereum rigs which went on to process tens of millions of dollars in transactions. He was inducted into Wisconsin’s Business Hall of Fame at 16 years old.

Ben - Ben’s sister is a chief resident at Cambridge Health Alliance, dedicating extensive time to scheduling residents. As the former president of Rice’s largest software engineering group, Ben has years of experience building automation products including products seen and used by hundreds of thousands of people.

Our ask (and offer):

Scheduling and administrative work aren’t relevant to just one kind of provider. We’re looking to connect with anyone in medicine who handles administrative tasks such as physician scheduling, payroll, or accreditation. This typically includes professionals working in institutions like:

1. Hospitals
2. Nursing Homes & Agencies
3. Private Clinics
4. Residency Programs
5. Outpatient Facilities
6. Locum Tenens Agencies
