//Who it's for

Redeployment affects both departments.

Moving a staff member fills one gap and can open another. Managers see the commitments left behind, alongside transport, equipment and other service tasks that still need cover.

//Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Staff records hold roles, credentials and expiry dates, and Skedulo uses them with department requirements, unit experience, availability and workforce rules when building rosters and evaluating replacements. Managers see the impact on the unit a float worker leaves as well as the unit they join.

Yes. Match float and relief staff to recorded department requirements and send eligible staff shift offers. Managers decide priorities and review the commitments affected before reallocating someone.

Yes. Configure working-time and other workforce rules for your environment and use them when reviewing assignments. Confirm rule coverage, inputs, and exceptions during implementation; scheduling does not replace your compliance process.

Yes. Hospitals can coordinate rosters with patient transport, discharge coordination, diagnostics support, outpatient support and equipment tasks, all in one operational view. Staff update status, forms and notes on mobile as they complete the work, and recorded time is shared with HRIS, payroll and reporting systems.

No. Skedulo schedules the hospital workforce and internal service work: rosters, float staff, open shifts and tasks like patient transport and discharge coordination. Patient appointment booking and operating room scheduling typically stay in your EHR or patient access system.
