For care-provider operations managers

See which sites haven't sent rosters

Certant checks the roster returns each site supplies against your reporting calendar and your own approved staffing rules, with the source beside every figure.

Works from the returns your sites already send.

Each cell is a return that arrived, or one that didn't.
The problem

One site's return is missing

It's the week the quarterly report is due and the operations manager is collating roster returns from eleven sites. Ten are in the folder, and nobody can say whether the eleventh was never sent or was filed somewhere else.

Finding out takes phone calls. Meanwhile the staffing figures in the ten returns that did arrive still haven't been read.

The documents

What Certant reads

The calendar sets which returns you expect, and the policy supplies the rules.

DocumentWhat it supplies
Roster returnsThe staffing figures each site records for each shift and period.
Reporting calendarWhich sites report, and for which periods.
Approved staffing rulesThe rules written in your own staffing policy, with the section and page each comes from.

The approval

An authorised reviewer decides the response

Certant drafts a request for the missing return, or a note about the recorded figure, with the sources attached. An authorised reviewer reads it and decides what goes to the site.

Scope

What setup involves

We agree the reporting calendar and which rules from your staffing policy to check. Then we load a quarter of returns and compare the grid with what your team already knows.

AreaWhat to expect
RulesCertant checks the rules you configure from your own approved documents.
RostersIt reads the returns. It doesn't build or optimise a roster, or allocate shifts.
PeopleIt makes no judgement about an individual employee, and it isn't an assurance of resident or patient safety.
