backfylWho is where,on the day.
The roster says who works which days. The allocation says where each of them is on the day, in what role and for which hours: theatres and their sessions, or lists such as PARU. Each department fills its own and publishes it when it’s ready.
In Backfyl WorkforceFrom $2 a person a month
From the rosterto tomorrow’s board.
Set up the department once.
Its places (Theatre 1 to 4), its sessions with their hours (AM 07:30 to 12:30), its roles (Scrub, Scout, Anaesthetic nurse) and its lists.
Start the day.
Backfyl lays the day out from its template or the setup, with everyone rostered that day down the side and their hours.
Place each person.
Drag a person into a slot on a computer, or tap a slot on a phone. Add the list’s start time, cases, surgeon and anaesthetist, and notes such as trolley checks or lunch cover.
Publish it.
Staff see their own line first, then their department, then the rest of the venue. If their start or finish changes, they’re asked to say yes or no.
Built for the waya department plans its day.
- Flags before you publish
- Someone placed in two places at once is flagged, and so is anyone rostered whom nobody has placed. A shift that misses a session altogether is stopped, with Change their hours.
- A cycle of templates
- Save a day as its place in the department’s cycle, so each Monday of the cycle starts from the right lists.
- Each department its own
- Each department fills and publishes its own board. Its in-charges and the admins fill it; staff see it once it’s published.
- Excel and print
- Export the day’s board to Excel, or print it for the wall.
- In each person’s roster
- A published allocation shows under the shift on each person’s own roster, with a link to the whole board.
- Typed-in names stay names
- Surgeons and anaesthetists are typed into each session. They aren’t Backfyl users and are never notified.
Part of Backfyl Workforce
The complete rostering platform: the roster, allocations, hours, leave, pay costs and cover in one app. $25 a month for up to 10 people, then $2.50 a person a month, or $2 a person a month paid yearly. Four weeks free, and no lock-in contract.
How each industryuses it.
Works well withthe rest of Backfyl.
Every part shares one roster, one team and one app. Use the parts you need and leave the rest out.
Questionspeople ask first.
Do we need allocations?
Only for departments that place people within the day, such as theatres. A venue can run its roster without them and add them later from the Allocations screen.
Does the allocation change the roster?
Someone placed keeps their rostered hours unless you change them. Hours you change are put to the person to accept when you publish.
Which plan includes allocations?
