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 complaint 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
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.
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.
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.
Being able to see who is/will be in the working team alongside me for a given shift/shifts is helpful for fostering a team atmosphere in the absence of true “firms” and contributes to wellbeing.
HealthRota has allowed me to have a much better work/life balance while pursuing a career in Emergency Medicine. It is refreshing to have much more control over when you work and how you fill your hours with self-rostering and HealthRota. I got married during my attachment in ED and there was minimal hassle getting the stag, wedding and honeymoon off. This would have been a nightmare without HealthRota. As well as ensuring departmental safety, I believe systems like HealthRota will reduce personal burnout in ED and increase job satisfaction.
