Healthcare staff scheduling

Typical healthcare staff scheduling problems
- Healthcare providers need to balance the delivery of outstanding patient care and cost-effective use of healthcare resources. Staff represent the single largest budget and therefore effective employee scheduling and utilisation is key. Moreover, capturing time and attendance is essential for managing resources effectively, especially when using agency staff and part time workers.
- As institutions seek to improve efficiency, this typically results in increased specialisation. However, managing the complex skills and competencies of staff is almost impossible within manual systems
- Increased regulation (e.g. Working Time Directive) and enforcement of legal contracts of employment require strict management of staff schedules which is time consuming and prone to error
