Scheduling using a Skills Matrix enables managers or supervisors to match employees with particular skills to shift schedule requirements. Making sure that each shift is filled with the appropriate skill sets can reduce administration costs and increase productivity and efficiency.
In the healthcare sector, it is essential the right skillset personnel should handle the appropriate task. It needs to be peculiar and precise to enhance the metrics of the shift and provide quality of service and improve efficiency.
Our skill mapping feature of the rostering software enables us to match the skill set of the person with the requisites of the shift, it offers a solution for creating an optimal roster in which every represented shift should have the skilled staff to assist.
While creating an ideal roster, it is essential to focus on availability as well as the skillset. We understand challenges faced while creating a roster and hence, our team of experts derived a solution to make the rosters more accurate and viable for effective use.
The Skill matrix matches the skill set of an employee and recognises the department that they belong in. While creating a shift roster the required skilled persons in each department are identified and an ideal roster is formed.
In an unplanned event, the roster provides support and access by providing the eligible data list of the staff available to work on any shift.
The skill mapping enables an optimal roster solution for nurses, doctors and other staff associated with it. Rosters can fill up the shifts quickly by assigning tasks according to the skillset, availability and functionality for each department.
The adequately staffed shift will have all the skilled persons that are required in a particular shift. The skill matrix derives the skill set persons and has information about the training that the employees are undergoing. When the training is completed it notifies the supervisors about the same to offer more options and advancements the trained staff can perform.
The skill matrix also informs users if any additional training is required for the staff. This enables the advancement and up-gradation of staff from time to time. It adds more skills to the staff and empowers the organisation for a better pace of growth and development.
Assess staff skills:
The skill matrix represents the skill of every staff member and the eligible department. It helps us analyse the capabilities of the organisation hierarchy and the abilities of the staff to accomplish a task.
Recognise specialised personnel:
When we identify the skills and analyse them we come across some specialised person such as doctors in surgical or anesthetic or nurses that assisted in various techniques. This will help to enhance the performance of the shift and improve efficiency.
Access to training and certification:
The skills of the staff members can be upgraded by offering different training and certification. The organisation can identify additional training to offer the advanced technology and techniques certifications. This will act as a benefit for patient care and growth of the entire organisation.
Efficient Management:
In case of an unplanned event, the hospital will require additional support. The data list of the eligible staff persons required to handle the tasks will be represented in the skill matrix. This will help the supervisors to staff the particular event without compromising on quality and prevent hiring staff from agencies.
The Skill Matrix is an important aspect while building a roster solution. The skilled staff with each shift requirement is necessary to boost productivity, efficiency and improvise profits with patient care.
