The smooth and efficient running of a hospital takes a lot of organising, planning and management. The people are the most vital part of any medical facility bringing the dynamic healthcare environment to life providing excellent health and medical care. Time and attendance systems help automate the hospital workforce management task, which is essential to guarantee that the right combination of staff is always on duty to serve patients.

Efficiency

Time and attendance tracking allows an organisation to record and track the schedules, rosters

and hours of employees. It ensure maximum efficiency during every shift, very important

especially when it comes to the healthcare industry.

Coordinating a large workforce

A healthcare facility coordinates a large workforce from different areas, the management of

which a roster management system simplifies. It keeps track of shifts, rosters, sick leave and

leave so that everything is coordinated perfectly. Unlike when done manually, there is no margin

for error, with a patient turning up for a medical procedure only find no medical team available.

A roster management system practically eliminates the challenges of time and attendance

management found in a busy healthcare environment. In such a dynamic setting no one works

to ‘standard times’ as a hospital or facility work around the clock. Be it medical, admin, cleaning

and maintenance everyone works to keep the facilities working around the clock 24/7, so that

both patients and visitors receive continuous care.

Attendance details

It also helps ensure that all employees are clocking in the scheduled work periods correctly and

that there is no ‘buddy punching’ which could lead to a lapse in patient care. Everyone is where

they should be at the correct time so that the healthcare facility can run like clockwork, with the

necessary staff and support in place.

Smart roster management

Relying on outdated or manually means of scheduling rosters can lead to a lot of complications,

especially for the healthcare industry. It can create inefficiency as scheduling holes and

mistakes take a toll on the work, which in turn reduces productivity. Burned out staff and

reduced profitability can cause pay issues which starts a whole new vicious cycle.

Accurate data

Automated time and attendance tracking solves all these problems with accurate and up to date

information which empowers even the employees to manage their time properly, creating a

smoother and inclusive work environment. It will ensure a high level of patient care which is the

ultimate goal of the healthcare industry.
