Designed for scheduling across:
Intensive Care Unit | Western Australia
A Western Australian ICU uses RosterLab to create 24/7 medical schedules 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 handoffs.
RosterLab assigns clinicians based on their competencies and supervision requirements, highlighting any gaps that need your attention.
Block out agreed teaching sessions, study time, and airway training for residents, alongside attending physicians’ nonclinical commitments. RosterLab plans shifts around that time and flags gaps in ICU coverage for review before you publish.
Explore scheduling rules
When a shift needs last-minute coverage, 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 schedule in place.
Explore rescheduling
One shift change can affect someone’s rest, contracted hours or availability tomorrow. RosterLab’s optimization works through these connected requirements across the schedule, helping you find a workable balance without checking every combination by hand.
