The Central Adelaide Local Health Network in South Australia has deployed Core Schedule's smart staff rostering and scheduling platform across 15 services.

Core Schedule streamlines the rostering and scheduling process for hospitals and healthcare facilities. Its installation is being tailored to suit a client’s hospital department, area, and team.  

WHY IT MATTERS

Taking note of the success in the adoption of the Core Schedule system at the Royal Adelaide Hospital Emergency Department, CALHN further expanded its installation as part of its Rapid COVID Response Project. The health service network is preparing to face a potential surge in COVID-19 cases due to the Omicron variant outbreak and the further reopening of state borders.

Core Schedule emphasises the role of smart scheduling in creating a safe and healthy healthcare environment. It claims to “place the right people into the right place at the right time”. Its suite of tools can "easily manage complex rules and requests, creating a clear, fair and accessible system".

With its system, clinical professionals are relieved of time spent on rostering and allocating staff, fixing mistakes and making last-minute changes, which all contribute to overwork, burnout, and less time for patients.

THE LARGER TREND

The Bay of Plenty District Health Board in New Zealand has also employed Core Schedule to assist in its COVID-19 response. It is now working with a tailored system that automates manual tasks and that gives staff some control and complete visibility over their own rosters.
