How does rostering fit into the Te Whatu Ora Health Workforce Plan 2023/24

In assessing Te Whatu Ora's 2023/2024 Workforce Plan, it is encouraging to see the proactive attention towards the well-being and longevity of our healthcare workforce. One of the critical points I gathered from the report was the need to rethink our approaches to rostering. The implication is clear: the healthcare sector requires employment models and service delivery strategies that maximise the talents of its workforce without causing burnout. This is an area where technology can be instrumental, particularly in terms of AI-optimized rostering solutions.

Guest Blog - A study about self-rostering

Kait O’Callahan, Clinical Coordinator at Unitec, is our guest author. She, along with Sharon Sitters, Lecturer at Unitec, and Mike Peterson, Clinical Tutor at Whanganui Hospital, have done a study through Unitec into the perceptions around self-rostering in radiographers. Rosterlab was fortunate enough to support their research with our AI rostering platform.
