Feedback on e-Rostering
I like that there is a large amount of functionality under one platform. As a Rota Coordinator, this helps me do everything I need to in one place. Authorising leave, flagging shifts to fill and more involved processes like generating templates for rotations is all easy to do. I have used other rostering platforms in the past and find HealthRota more adaptable to my needs and simple to use.
HealthRota and the flexibility/annualisation and transparency that comes with it, the work/life balance my colleagues experience following the introduction into our department have all been instrumental in recruiting recently appointed new consultants and current senior registrars being attracted to working at RSCH/PRH and applying for jobs in the near future.
The use of an app that both fairly and clearly allocates shifts is vital. I have previously had rota patterns go wrong and ended up working extremely unfairly and software like HealthRota reassures me that the system is fair and it is easy to get study leave off.
HealthRota has been invaluable in giving me flexibility for my personal and professional leave. It is very easy to use and gives a clear overview of staffing. As teaching fellow I have needed the flexibility to optimise my work opportunities, I could easily swap my shifts and leave to ensure I didn’t miss out and could contribute. I have never had such a flawless rota before… I cannot praise this rota enough and would be sorely disappointed if it was withdrawn.
The app is fantastic, very easy to use, great for getting the time off you need for AL/SL (e.g. able to get onto an ALS revalidation course and not worrying about swapping night shifts so I could attend!) and so useful for knowing who is working at any one time in the hospital (particularly during on-calls). It is definitely something that should be implemented at other trusts both to improve junior doctors’ wellbeing and improve patient safety with easier adaptability for unexpected sickness and awareness of who is working at any one point in the hospital across many teams.
I did not know about the HealthRota app before coming to RSCH/PRH but I really was amazed with the system. Having all our entitled leave allocated when organising our rota was extremely helpful, compared to other trusts where it would be so difficult to use up all your annual and/or study leave due to staffing difficulties (and therefore contributed to burnout and decreased wellbeing). It is one major aspect that has made me want to consider staying at this trust next year.
