Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust

Oxleas recognised a need for a computerised e-rostering system to monitor and optimise its workforce, and to more effectively manage the nursing budget – which represents the largest proportion of the Trust’s expenditure. The Trust’s 1,700-strong nursing workforce were historically deployed at ward/unit level by a manually driven paper based solution. The Trust introduced Allocate’s HealthRoster to provide a more efficient way of managing staff through improved rostering, to objectively measure how and where staff are being utilised, and to identify where savings could be made through streamlining processes.
