The night shift is fully
staffed. Nobody on it
can run a code.
A hospital roster is not just headcount. Every nurse carries a professional licence, the CME hours behind its renewal, and a stack of clinical competencies, each running down on its own clock. A card that lapsed eleven nights ago should not be something the accreditation survey finds before you do.
Sound familiar?
19:15. The night shift is complete, and its code-blue responder is out of date.
Critical care takes handover in fifteen minutes with five nurses, exactly the number the roster asks for. The nurse carrying the code-blue role renewed her ACLS late. Her card expired eleven days ago, and eleven nights have already run behind it. Roster her again and the unit is non-compliant the moment a surveyor pulls the file. Pull her and you are a nurse short on a ward of ventilated patients. Today that call comes down to a supervisor cross-checking a licence spreadsheet against a printed rota.
The roster checks the credential, not just the headcount.
- It counts down every card, not just the licenceThe DHA, DOH or SCFHS licence, the CME hours its renewal depends on, BLS, ACLS, PALS and the unit competencies all sit on the nurse's profile, each with its own expiry date. The platform runs every clock separately and warns at 90, 60 and 30 days, while there is still time to book the course.
- It will not put an expired competency on a shift that needs itA shift that requires an ACLS-current code responder, or a ventilator-trained nurse, will not accept one whose card has lapsed. The rule is enforced when the roster is built, not discovered when the survey team asks for the file.
- It ranks the in-date cover that can hold the roleWhen a card lapses, the platform surfaces the nurses who can actually take the shift: licence current, competency in date, inside rest-hour limits, ranked by fit, so the unit keeps its code cover and the night runs compliant.
What changes, in numbers.
Bring us your hardest week.
If one lapsed card can put a fully staffed ward out of compliance, your credentials should not live in a spreadsheet beside a printed rota. Show us your units, your licences and your competency matrix, and we will run the expiry checks and the ranked in-date cover on your own roster.
