HOSPITALS
“ One of the biggest lessons learnt from COVID-19 is how we look after our staff ”
LAURA GREEN PROJECT MANAGER , SENIOR WORKFORCE
But the James Paget University Hospital isn ’ t alone – electronic job planning software is currently used by more than 70 NHS Trusts .
As a result , workforce deployment across the hospital is now far more streamlined and managed by a single platform , end to end .
Deborah Chapman , Assistant Director , Digital Workforce said “ All the systems we procure and implement have to interface – having a two or three tier process utilising different systems that don ’ t interface is labour intensive and complicated for the team who have to manage them .
" Clinical staff especially are incredibly busy , and logging into multiple systems for different reasons is time consuming – having joined up systems helps support smarter ways of working ."
There is of course a time saving element to having digital systems rather than paper-based ones . " It gives a real time staffing picture , which is invariably much more streamlined than if it was on pieces of paper or spreadsheets around the organisation , which ultimately releases clinical time to care and allows our clinical staff to focus on patients ” healthcareglobal . com 45
