Staffing Requirement Templates

Staffing Requirement Templates (SRT) let you define the mixture of shifts to be scheduled. There is no limit to the number of templates that you can create. An individual scheduling period can be comprised of multiple schedule templates. These templates let you manage the holiday and seasonal changes in staff that are required at any particular date.

The SRT feature lets you specify the number of staff that are required for each combination of jobs and day parts for a given team. Then for each of the job-day part workload requirement, you can further define the types of skills necessary to fulfill the requirement.

For example, for any day in a SRT, you can specify that 5 RNs are required for the DAY day part. For those 5 RNs, you can also specify that they all need to have the ACLS skill. As well, you can also specify that 1 of the 5 RNs should have a FRENCH skill.

The end result is that the SRT becomes a matrix of the jobs, skills, and day parts that are required to staff a unit.
