The HealthRota Electronic Rostering module offers so much more than traditional spreadsheets and rotas. Create happier working environments with greater job satisfaction, higher staff utilisation and greater flexibility in workforce management.
Whether you want to roster entire departments, or empower staff to swap, fill absences or manage their own working patterns in real-time, HealthRota simplifies and manages every part of the process – giving you one less thing to worry about.
- Complete Transparency
- Empower staff with transparency and the ability to view their working requirements and any work completed in real-time.
- Manage Absence
- Easily record and manage all types of absence in a customisable platform to ensure your staff are managed your way.
- Auto Rostering
- Simplify administrative tasks by generating rosters in seconds from job plans or existing templates and rolling rota patterns.
- Compliant with Regulations
- Ensure rosters are compliant with Working Time Regulations or any NHS contract with compliance checks integrated across the platform.
- Enable Self Rostering
- Create a happy workforce, better staff retention, less rota gaps and less absence. Share the workload of rota planning with staff and reduce the complexities of workforce management.
- Manage Annual Hours
- HealthRota calculates the total number of hours or programmed activities (PAs) required to be worked (annualisation) offering professionals the flexibility to complete hours around their own commitments.
- Swaps
- Taking time off has never been easier. Empower staff with the flexibility to swap their shifts while keeping the roster compliant and reducing the administrative burden for managers and coordinators.
- Increase Visibility
- Customise and view rotas and data in the way that works for you. Permanently view rotas in real-time and reduce the need to print various rotas for the pin board.
- NHS Focused
- We work closely with the NHS to ensure that the HealthRota e-roster system aligns with the specific needs and requirements of NHS services.
Feedback on e-Rostering
This is a very attractive feature when recruiting consultants to our department. I am constantly asked about it by other departments and colleagues in other hospitals. We are in a specialty that is prone to burnout, traditionally under-resourced, low status and with a high emotional burden. It makes a massive difference for those who are full-time clinical but also for those part-time or clinical academics as it allows flexibility and ensures fairness across the rota. It has really changed things for the better – our full-time consultants now consistently get one day-off per week. This has never happened before HealthRota. Our previously very understaffed department is now much better staffed than neighbouring Trusts’ and I think this is (at least in part) down to the implementation of HealthRota for our consultants.
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.
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.
Fantastic work that will really make a difference to our doctors – well done to everyone involved. Keep up the great work!
Having access to HealthRota had a tremendous positive impact on organising my clinical and non-clinical time. Since moving to a new Trust without HealthRota, the issues of more conventional rota management are all too apparent again and it has made me feel less in control of my schedule. I’m hopeful for widespread adoption of HealthRota across Trusts, so more can benefit from this system.
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.
