RosterLab simplifies intensive care rostering, helping your team plan for 24/7 clinical cover, maintain continuity of care, and manage complex staffing needs without tracking every detail by hand.
RosterLab balances ICU skill mix, overnight cover, fatigue limits and working arrangements across your roster, helping you plan around-the-clock clinical coverage while reducing roster admin.
Designed for rostering across:
Intensive Care Unit | Western Australia
A Western Australian ICU uses RosterLab to create 24/7 medical rosters for over 20 clinicians, balancing specialist skills, supervision, fairness, and continuity of care.
“RosterLab has saved me countless hours and made this process manageable.”
Take days of manual planning off your workload. RosterLab’s AI works through your unit's staffing requirements, shift patterns and constraints to generate a complete ICU shift plan in minutes.
Distribute nights, weekends and on-call duties fairly across eligible clinicians, accounting for contracted hours and your unit’s rest rules.
Keep clinicians in the same role across consecutive days, supporting familiarity with patients’ progress and more informed care decisions and handovers.
RosterLab assigns clinicians based on their competencies and supervision requirements, highlighting any gaps that need your attention.
Block out agreed teaching sessions, study days and airway training for registrars, alongside consultants’ non-clinical commitments. RosterLab plans shifts around that time and flags gaps in ICU cover for review before you publish.
Explore rostering rules
When a shift needs last-minute cover, RosterLab helps find a suitable replacement based on skills, availability and rest rules. Review changes to the affected shifts while keeping the rest of the roster in place.
Explore re-rostering
One shift change can affect someone’s rest, contracted hours or availability tomorrow. RosterLab’s optimisation works through these connected requirements across the roster, helping you find a workable balance without checking every combination by hand.
