Implementing cost effective solutions that enable effective management and optimisation of employees working hours are a principle requirement within the healthcare sector. Efficient software solutions tackle both the vast administrative burden and the complex legal and scheduling policies associated with planning, calculating and reconciling employee’s working hours.
ZEUS®scheduling has been created to address just this issue within hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Planning Dialogue
The planning of shifts and absences is made by simply highlighting the planning fields and selecting the desired entry from a business unit specific list of shifts or absences. Frequently required planning entries can be defined as favourites, thus enabling shift planning by a simple mouse click.
Personnel Demand
The definition of demand plans within the application establishes visibility of how many employees with particular skills are required at specific times and on specific days, enabling scheduling conflicts to be viewed at a glance. Over- or understaffing are displayed in a clear manner.
Planning Possibilities
In addition to department related plans it is also possible to create department overlapping plans, such as night shift or standby pattern plans. Temporary employee transfers to other departments are also supported directly from the planning dialogue. ZEUS®scheduling verifies compliance with holiday entitlements and other business rules and non-conformance with policy can be approved and annotated within the system.
Calculation Basis
ZEUS®scheduling automatically calculates individual entitlements for overtime and bonus as well as compensation for on-call and standby duties according to defined rules.
