Managing the use of staff in a large Healthcare organization is not straightforward. There are three key fundamentals to a successful scheduling product:

1. Real World Foundation. Simply, the organization (units, positions, people and work details) must be modeled to reflect the real word environment – with this data changing over time. Without the right foundation, scheduling won’t work long term as it can’t support a changing environment.


2. Simple yet sophisticated Schedule Creation. The challenge is in supporting a very complex scheduling environments (like ICU, ER, etc) but at the same time providing a very simple user experience. Without comprehensive yet very straightforward schedule creation, staff will not support the use of the system.

3. Benefits focused Schedule Creation - Simply replicating the existing manual process electronically will not deliver significant benefit. Better schedules must be created, with clear visibility of problems that impact clinical care or lead to financial inefficiency. Without effective analysis and optimization, efficiencies and savings won’t be made.

MAPS Healthroster has significant differentiators in all these areas. It is these that have enabled our clients to rollout the software so widely in their organizations, and to deliver real benefit.
