Rostering

Objectives

• To provide a user friendly rostering system which will enable nursing and non nursing services to develop a roster that meets the needs of their individual services.
• To enable multiple wards / departments to be included in one roster.
• To provide the ability to assign comments to rostered shifts to provide additional information / detail relating to the individual shift.
• To create a roster using a wide range of shift types including split shifts.
• To provide the ability to plan staff leave over a 12 month period.
• To provide the ability to roster hours to a wide range of staffing areas / activities (compatible with the TrendCare staff allocation screen).
• To provide the ability to map public holidays over a 12 month period.
• To provide the ability to plan staff leave over a calendar year.
• To provide the ability to archive rosters for retrospective checking / auditing.

Concepts

Staff names and hours can be imported from the TrendCare Roster System into the TrendCare 'Allocate Staff' screen. The TrendCare 'Allocate Staff' function is used to display all staff members and their hours available / worked in each Department for a specific Date and Shift. The TrendCare 'Allocate Staff' screen campares rostered hours with the following:

• Measured acuity requirements.
• Preset nurse patient ratios.
• Minimum staffing hours
• Preset hours per patient day targets

Reports Generated

• Hard copy rosters displaying roster codes, requests and shift comments.
• Hard copy rosters displaying start times and finish times, requests and roster comments.

N.B. All TrendCare reports can be saved as pdf, csv or text format, e.g. for transfer into a spreadsheet.
