Sligo University Hospital to implement NCHD e-rostering

Sligo University Hospital Medical Specialty has partnered with Allocate Software to begin the process for implementing E-rostering software for NCHDs. A Project Board was set up with project clinical lead Katherine Finan as executive sponsor. It approved a local team consisting of a Project Manager and Systems Administrator, to work with Allocate. The initial scope of the project is to deliver “Medics On-Line” and “Medics on-Duty” to 50 NCHD staff from the Medical Specialty. A clear communication strategy supports the implementation and E-Rostering roll-out process and the planning of next steps with the Project Board.

The objectives of the project at Sligo University Hospital are as follows:

To implement Medics Online and Medics OnDuty where the necessary hardware has been made available.
Improved staff utilisation.
Reduction in avoidable costs.
Reduction in administration tasks and functions.
Improved reporting.
Improved access to rosters.
Improved Workforce planning.

Katherine Finan, Clinical Lead and Project Sponsor says,

”I am excited to be working with the team from Allocate Software and our local implementation group on this e-rostering project”.

Allocate has previously worked with Letterkenny General Hospital to introduce e-rostering as shown in this case study.
