CHALLENGES IN HEALTHCARE ROSTER PLANNING

Vuorox WAS BORN TO SOLVE THE CURRENT CHALLENGES IN HEALTHCARE ROSTER PLANNING

Most healthcare units work 24/7. Work is often demanding both mentally and physically. Employees have a lot of responsibilities and at times lives are at stake. While employees typically love what they do, rosters that fail to take into account personal preferences and general shift ergonomy seriously hinder work-life balance. Continued imbalance is a ubiquitous source of job dissatisfaction.

Roster planning is not easy. In fact, it’s a problem that even has a proverbial name: Nurse Rostering Problem. It’s a puzzle, where one must meet legislation needs, labour force contracts, organizational requirements, skills, experience, personal preferences, shift ergonomy etc.

Even a simple roster has an endless number of alternatives where to choose from. For a human the task is easily overwhelming and even at best it is impossible to look into all possible alternatives.

Vuorox is an automatic planner that harnesses the powers of AI to find an optimal solution, improving time after time. The more challenging the roster, the greater the advantage Vuorox can bring.

Despite the fact that there are numerous shift planning software on the market, none of them is capable of delivering a definite solution to the rostering planning problem. A typical planning process remains a time consuming and costly process. And all too often the quality of the rosters is far from optimal. One of the ingredients of a very unhappy employee.

Vuorox eliminates the need for manual work while creating rosters of unrivaled quality. It automates the whole process from gathering employees’ wishes to planning the actual shifts according to the given requirements. Under the hood Vuorox makes sure that all legal and contractual requirements are always met, all employees are treated equally and their own wishes are optimally taken into account. All these are required ingredients for satisfied and well-being employees.
