Can we get rota management in EMIS?
In a previous post, I asked about rota management software. I received quite a few names, and my practice management team have investigated several of them. Some of them look absolutely excellent; however, we’ve yet to come across anybody that can actually put the appointment schedules that the rota software generates into EMIS. Has anybody managed to do this? I suspect the API will be poor and not allow it to be done directly, and I suspect it may need an RPA bot-type solution. Just to be clear, not only are we trying to track things like holidays, but we also have up to 32 doctors working here, all with different hours and on different rotas. We have clinics and nurses; some clinics happen regularly, some happen irregularly, and we’ve certainly come across rota software that can handle this inside its own software. However, what we need is the appointments to be put onto EMIS.
There’s no point in using software that then requires us to use the same administrator who worked it all out manually to just sit there and type it all in, copying it across. It doesn’t actually save us that much time and effort. What would save us time and effort is basically the the appointment schedules being added automatically into EMIS once sorted. Have we just missed a company that’s done this?
