We’re excited to announce that Taranaki Base Hospital, part of Te Whatu Ora – Taranaki, is expanding its use of Core Schedule to include General Medicine outpatient clinics and Geriatricians!

With Emergency already using Core Schedule, this expansion means even more hospital teams will benefit from real-time, streamlined scheduling, improved visibility, and seamless workforce coordination across departments.

A Unified Approach to Scheduling

By bringing General Medicine and Geriatricians onto Core Schedule, Taranaki Base Hospital is further unifying its scheduling system, creating a consistent, efficient, and transparent way for staff to manage their rosters.

With Core Schedule, these teams now have:

A streamlined, digital roster  – ensuring clear visibility and easy access for all staff.
Flexible shift management – making roster adjustments and coordination seamless.
Real-time updates & notifications – keeping teams informed instantly.

This expansion marks a significant step in supporting staff with a smarter, more connected approach to scheduling while maintaining high-quality patient care.

From a Paper Roster to a Digital Solution

Until now, the maternity ward relied on a excel-based “call-only” roster that struggled to keep up with the unit’s needs.

By transitioning to Core Schedule, the maternity ward is leaving those headaches behind. Core Schedule provides a real-time, online roster accessible to all team members. Changes or additions are updated instantly, so everyone stays on the same page. 

Key Benefits for the Maternity Team

With Core Schedule in place, the maternity staff and administrators will immediately notice several benefits:

• Efficiency in Scheduling: Shifts and on-call duties can be organised and adjusted in real-time, saving administrators hours of paperwork and reducing the chance of errors or double bookings.

• Seamless Shift Trading: Core Schedule makes it simple for team members to trade shifts or cover for each other. With just a few clicks, staff can request a swap and managers can approve it digitally, eliminating frantic phone calls and ensuring every shift is covered correctly.

Solving Scheduling Challenges

The move to Core Schedule directly addresses the challenges the maternity ward faced with its old system. Now, any scheduling changes are centralised and visible to the whole team immediately. If someone needs to swap a shift or take leave, the platform is updated immediately. 

The digital system improves communication: staff receive notifications about upcoming shifts or any changes, so nothing falls through the cracks. The result is a more resilient schedule that keeps the ward running smoothly for both the healthcare team and their patients.

We’re proud to support WACHS – Busselton Hospital in this transition. The adoption of Core Schedule by the maternity ward is a testament to the platform’s value in improving healthcare workforce management. We look forward to seeing the positive impact on staff satisfaction, efficiency, and the quality of care delivered to new mothers and babies in the community.

In the past, Collie Hospital has relied on a mix of emails, Excel spreadsheets, and paper systems to manage its rosters. By moving to a more centralised and integrated system, Collie Hospital will gain enhanced visibility of shifts, whether they are covered by in-person staff or through other WACHS services. This approach will help eliminate any gaps in workforce visibility, especially during times when physical staff availability may be limited.

This means better transparency and no more manual tracking. With everything centralised and easily accessible, Collie Hospital can now manage its workforce with confidence and precision, even in the most challenging scenarios.

Real-time tracking and enhanced visibility will also improve care coordination. The team at Collie Hospital will always know who is available to meet patient needs, whether it’s a physical presence or virtual support through telehealth. This will not only reduce administrative burden but will also ensure faster response times, improved shift management, and ultimately better care for the patients.

We are proud to support WACHS Collie Hospital in this exciting phase and are committed to helping them optimise their workforce management processes. Welcome aboard, WACHS Collie Hospital! We look forward to being part of your journey to improved operational efficiency and outstanding patient care.
