Introduction
HealthRota has enabled us to move from a departmental rostering system based on excel spreadsheets and weekly inaccurate printed rota sheets, to a real time visible cloud based rostering system accessible on desktop and mobile devices.
Prior to the introduction of HealthRota it took a Consultant about 4 hours of time per week to roster 18 Consultants across three departments. Now we have expanded to 44 consultants the increased complexity, can still be managed in half the time with the introduction of self-rostering and then subsequent shift swaps and give ups through the mobile application.
HealthRota enables us to run a fully annualised rostering system for our middle grade doctors and Consultants in the Emergency Department. This level of transparency enables us to demonstrate the full utilisation of PA activity in Clinical Job plans, and helps us plan our workforce strategy more accurately.
Results
The adoption of HealthRota has lead to a net reduction in administrative time, while the number of rostered staff members has doubled.
The system has ensured rota information is both accurate and accessible, improving rota visibility, and enabling the workforce to better manage their own work schedules.
