Hauora Hokianga is a trusted provider of healthcare services within its community, delivering essential urgent care and minor surgical services to patients in a regional setting. Supporting organisations like Hauora Hokianga is at the heart of what we do — enabling healthcare teams to focus on patient care, not administrative complexity.

Supporting Regional Healthcare with Smarter Rostering

Healthcare providers in regional and rural environments often face unique workforce challenges. These can include:

• Limited staff availability
• Complex on-call and shift coverage requirements
• Increased reliance on flexible workforce models

Core Schedule is designed to handle this complexity, providing a purpose-built solution tailored to healthcare environments.

Through this partnership, Hauora Hokianga will benefit from:

• Streamlined rostering processes, reducing time spent on manual scheduling
• Improved workforce visibility, enabling better decision-making
• Flexible shift management, helping ensure coverage where and when it’s needed most

Enabling Better Outcomes for Teams and Patients

By implementing Core Schedule, Hauora Hokianga is taking an important step toward enhancing operational efficiency and supporting its clinical teams with the tools they need to succeed.

We’re excited to work alongside the Hauora Hokianga team and support their ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality care to their community.

Disconnected systems, manual workarounds, and delayed interpretation of awards create friction between what was planned, what was worked, and what gets paid.

This is where a Roster-to-Pay approach changes everything.

The Problem with Traditional Workforce Systems

Most organisations operate across multiple systems:

• • A rostering tool

• • A separate timesheet system

• • A payroll engine interpreting awards after the fact

The result?

• • Delays in payroll processing

• • Increased risk of errors

• • Limited visibility into workforce costs

• • Heavy administrative overhead

It’s like planning a journey with one map… and navigating it with another.

What is Roster to Pay?

Roster to Pay connects the full workforce lifecycle into a single, seamless workflow:

Roster → Timesheet → Award Interpretation → Payroll

At the centre of this model is accuracy at the point of work, not after it.

This means:

• • Timesheets reflect what actually happened

• • Awards are interpreted in real-time (point-in-time)

• • Payroll receives clean, accurate data — first time

Why This Matters in Healthcare

Healthcare is one of the most complex rostering environments:

• • Multi-site operations

• • Highly specialised roles

• • Strict compliance and fatigue rules

• • Constant change and variability

Even small inaccuracies can scale quickly.

A connected Roster to Pay model delivers:

Accuracy

Award interpretation aligned to actual work performed.

Visibility

Real-time insight into staffing and costs.

Efficiency

Reduced manual handling and duplication.

Confidence

Clinicians and administrators trust the system.

The Power of Best-of-Breed: Core Schedule + TimeFiler

Rather than forcing a single system to do everything, a best-of-breed approach delivers deeper capabilities where they matter.

Core Schedule focuses on:

• • Advanced healthcare rostering

• • Workforce visibility

• • Real-time schedule management

TimeFiler focuses on:

• • Award interpretation

• • Compliance with complex agreements

• • Payroll-ready outputs

Together, they create a fully connected Roster to Pay ecosystem.

Each system does what it does best — and integrates seamlessly.

A Better Way Forward

Healthcare organisations no longer need to choose between:

• • Flexibility in rostering

• • Accuracy in payroll

With a connected Roster-to-Pay approach, they get both.

Final Thought

The future of workforce management in healthcare isn’t about better rosters.

It’s about what happens after the roster is built.

And that’s where real transformation begins.

Having already supported their medical workforce, this next phase reflects a broader commitment to improving visibility, coordination, and efficiency across the entire clinical team.

Supporting Urgent Care Environments

Urgent care settings are inherently unpredictable. Patient volumes can shift rapidly, and staffing requirements must adapt just as quickly.

Effective rostering in this environment goes beyond filling shifts. It requires:

• Clear visibility of coverage across all roles
• Confidence in skill mix and experience levels
• The ability to make rapid changes without disrupting the wider roster

Core Schedule is designed to support exactly this—helping healthcare organisations maintain control in fast-moving, high-pressure environments.

Expanding Value Across the Workforce

By extending Core Schedule to the nursing cohort, Dunedin Urgent Doctors & Accident Centre can now:

• Align medical and nursing rosters more effectively
