HealthRoster

Last updated

HealthRoster (formerly MAPS) is Employee scheduling software for e-rostering, used in the National Health Service produced by Allocate Software.

It provides a computerised method for efficiently managing when staff are required to work and to ensure wards and departments have the right staff in the right place at the right time. It is used by over 80% of electronically rostered NHS trusts to plan and roster their staff. It permits bank nurses to check shifts that are available on their phones or computers at home. [1] Version 11, which can be used on a tablet, was released in 2020, responding to demands created by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. [2] It uses the SafeCare patient acuity model supplied by Imperial College Innovations Limited. [3]

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust uses the software since October 2007 to manage staffing across 160 nursing areas, replacing a paper-based system. [4]

It is used in University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, where it was used by Alison Leary in her study of safe nurse staffing. [5] Warrington & Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust claims it has permitted them to reduce the use of bank and agency staff. [6]

Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust implemented a Responsive Workforce Model using HealthRoster and SafeCare to reduce agency staff costs, maintain quality, and allocate more time for patient care. The system allows matrons and ward managers to manage rotas more efficiently and fairly. [7]
