Case Study: Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust achieves rapid e-rostering visibility with HealthRota

Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust improves workforce visibility by 495% with HealthRota

Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust faced a critical challenge at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as its manual rostering practices provided no global overview of its medical workforce deployment. With staff redeployed, sick, or self-isolating, the Trust had inadequate understanding of where its doctors were working. To solve this, they implemented the e-rostering software HealthRota.

HealthRota was rolled out in just three days, providing full visibility of doctor deployment to all end users within two weeks. The results were significant, including a 495% improvement in knowledge of which doctors were in the hospital and a 48% improvement in contacting colleagues for advice. The solution was well-received, with 95% of junior doctors using the system within a month, and it anecdotally reduced the Trust's dependency on locum staff.
