Departments
Each department has its own page explaining the rostering challenges it faces and how Core Schedule solves them.

Why Hospital Departments Outgrow Generic Rostering Tools
Most departments start with spreadsheets or a general HR module. The problems show up once rosters need to account for clinical rules, fatigue limits and staff who work across teams.
- Staff shortages and turnover leave gaps that are hard to fill at short notice
- Manual rostering takes senior clinicians away from patient care and increases the risk of errors
- Fatigue limits, rest breaks and credentials are tracked by hand
- Managers can’t see staff across departments, teams or sites in one view
- Rosters can’t adapt quickly when demand surges
- Rosters sit apart from payroll and HR systems, creating double handling

Great company Overall: My experience with Core scheduler was great! I would happily work with them again — I have only stopped as my role changed at work and I no longer do our roster. Pros: Easy to use, several options for user interface. They continue to improve the site but don’t make changes to quick or big so it’s easy to keep using. Very very responsive customer service and the developers were great in creating new features when we had requests. A pleasure to work with. Cons: I was only doing our schedule for about two years and didn’t do the implementation or purchasing so I can’t say how those went. But I have nothing bad to say about the product from my experience.Posted on Capterra

Core Schedule Review Overall: Absolutely fantastic - the team are all approachable and use every day language so less tech savy users aren't confused. The team offer solutions and are proactive. Pros: What i like most about Core Schedule is the customer support - nothing is too hard and they are very understanding of new users. In terms of the software the visibility and adaptability - we were able to tailor the system to our unique needs. The cloud based approach means your are never locked out of your schedule and can makes / requests/ changes as soon as possible rather than having to wait to be on site - particularly for our clinicians who are flying in Cons: Some double handling in some areas - would be good to have more drag and drop featuresPosted on Capterra

Core Schedule implementation Overall: Our organisation managed to solve the majority of existing issues in the rostering area with the help of Core Schedule. Support from the Core Schedule Team was absolutely fantastic, they went above and beyond to fulfil all our requirements. Pros: $3 Cons: No APIs, will be very god to have, it will enable automated sync with other IT platforms, for instance with HRMSPosted on Capterra

Outpatients is not the same as 1952 Overall: Saving Senior Nurse Admin Time - so enabling that Nurse to use her Nursing Skills with the team, and her knowledge in the parts of the roster that are around allocation to services, and having administrators actively building the rosters around the clinical rules. Pros: I love the instant changes and how this product can react to a busy outpatients unit and a busy regional outpatients -Dr /Nurse response to many services all in one place. - i have multiple users building fucture rosters over a large area and it seems to be working day to day without any concerns from anyone - which tells me it is accepted as "this is how we do things" Cons: I would like a Room broken down into hourly appointments - or a group of rooms i could display on another screen adjacent to the big one. integration to the hardware was a good learning , you just need the right people to get to the goal you want.Posted on Capterra

Core Schedule is great! Overall: Core Schedule is a fantastic rostering program. It has all the features we need and I feel it gives more options to users and give our doctors more control over their own rosters. Pros: That is so easily accessible on all devices. That doctors have more control over their shift swaps/trades and rosters overall. It is easily viewable and read well on the screen and very user friendly. Cons: I would absolutely love to have doctors across/viewable on more than one roster at a time. This would make rostering across out paeds and adults roster much easier.Posted on Capterra

Flexible healthcare rosters. Great support. Pros: The onboarding and configuration of the software was so comprehensive. Cons: Hoping to see an API or award interpretation included in the product. I believe that this is coming soon.
