Duty roster

Medical duty roster: move from a static PDF to a living source of truth

A useful duty roster must stay current after publication: open shifts, exchanges, replacements and personal views.

A published version more reliable than an isolated PDFOpen shifts and exchanges trackedExports for display and archiving

A printed or PDF duty roster is reassuring at publication time, but becomes fragile as soon as a shift changes or an exchange is approved.

SaniShift keeps the readable roster logic while adding process tracking for edits, notifications and exports.

Limits of a static duty roster

  • A PDF version can become obsolete after the first exchange
  • Changes sometimes circulate by message without clear traceability
  • Members do not always know which version to trust
  • The planning lead has to reconcile information before every new distribution

A duty roster connected to the process

SaniShift lets you publish a clear schedule, then keep consistency between the planning lead view, personal views and exports.

  • Publish a schedule that the team can consult
  • Export to PDF/Excel for operational needs
  • Track open shifts and exchange requests
  • Notify members with an importable calendar file
The roster remains exportable, but the source of truth should stay in the application to avoid divergent versions.

What a living roster should improve

The test should verify whether post-publication changes remain visible and whether the team knows where to find the right version.
