What it is

A fatigue score for every member of staff, worked out from two things the hospital already records: the rota and the punch clock. Over the last fourteen days it counts the hours actually worked, the longest run of nights, shifts of six hours or more punched without a break, the shortest rest between one shift and the next, and shifts that ran two hours past the rota or were worked on a day off. Each factor adds points you can see, so a score of 82 says exactly why it is 82. The board shows each unit’s average, everyone worst first and their fourteen days as a strip of day, night, overtime and off. Beside a high score Rain suggests what to do — two days off after the current run of nights with the colleague who could cover, or a block on overtime — and one tap writes the days off into the rota. Every member of staff can open their own score; only the people who run the rota see everyone’s.

Who uses it: Built for: Every specialty
Reads: The rota (day, evening, night or off per person per day), the punch clock’s in and out times, each person’s department
Writes: Days off on the rota, when a manager applies them, a record of each action and who took it
Never: It never reads or asks for anything about a person’s health, sleep or mood, and there is nowhere to put it.
Access: Only people whose role includes it — the clinic owner decides who
Your data: No PHI. Hosted in Boston, United States. On uninstall: The board goes away. Days off it wrote stay on the rota as ordinary days off, and the record of who applied them is kept.

How it works

Keep the rota and the clockNothing new to fill in: the rota in Staff and the punches in Attendance are what the score is made from.
Read the board, worst firstEach unit’s average across the top, then every person with their score, their last fourteen days and the factors behind the number.
Apply the rest it suggestsOpen a high score to see Rain’s suggestion, and give the days off or block overtime with one tap — the rota changes there and then.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It never reads or asks for anything about a person’s health, sleep or mood, and there is nowhere to put it.

It never changes the rota on its own — a manager applies a suggestion — and it never shows a colleague’s score to someone who does not run the rota.

Questions clinics ask

What does ShiftPulse do?

Flags staff fatigue from the rota and overtime, never from health data. A fatigue score for every member of staff, worked out from two things the hospital already records: the rota and the punch clock. Over the last fourteen days it counts the hours actually worked, the longest run of nights, shifts of six hours or more punched without a break, the shortest rest between one shift and the next, and shifts that ran two hours past the rota or were worked on a day off. Each factor adds points you can see, so a score of 82 says exactly why it is 82. The board shows each unit’s average, everyone worst first and their fourteen days as a strip of day, night, overtime and off. Beside a high score Rain suggests what to do — two days off after the current run of nights with the colleague who could cover, or a block on overtime — and one tap writes the days off into the rota. Every member of staff can open their own score; only the people who run the rota see everyone’s.

What data does ShiftPulse read and write?

ShiftPulse reads the rota (day, evening, night or off per person per day), the punch clock’s in and out times, each person’s department and writes days off on the rota, when a manager applies them, a record of each action and who took it. Its data class is No PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does ShiftPulse deliberately not do?

It never reads or asks for anything about a person’s health, sleep or mood, and there is nowhere to put it. It never changes the rota on its own — a manager applies a suggestion — and it never shows a colleague’s score to someone who does not run the rota.

What happens to our data if we uninstall ShiftPulse?

The board goes away. Days off it wrote stay on the rota as ordinary days off, and the record of who applied them is kept.

Is ShiftPulse available today?

Yes — ShiftPulse is live in clinics today. Set up your practice on MedAppz and install it from your dashboard.
