Notice Title

E-ROSTERING

Notice Description

Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust requires an Electronic Rostering System. The system will provide a robust dashboard to support operational management, with staffing information at ward, division and Trust level. This will provide key assurance on safe and effective use of rostering across the trust. The system will include real time acuity and dependency scoring, providing accurate information regarding workload demand. This will allow nurse staffing to be effectively aligned with variations in demand in a flexible and informed way. With the potential of 7 day working for more services, the need for a proven e-rostering system to cater for more than just nursing will be imperative, for efficient and effective use of the whole staffing resource including a very active Bank staffing department.
