CHALLENGE

Healthcare systems face growing pressure from staff shortages, unpredictable absences and rising operational costs. Manual shift planning is complex and time-consuming, often resulting in imbalanced schedules, low workplace morale and reduced quality of care. Leaders need tools that offer foresight and flexibility.

SOLUTION

SynPlan tackles absenteeism and automates shift planning with AI

BENEFITS

Better staffing stability and care quality

Data-driven, automated rota planning helps healthcare facilities to stay ahead of staffing challenges and optimise resource allocation while boosting operational efficiency and reducing unnecessary overtime.

More predictable and fair schedules reduce stress and burnout among healthcare staff. Higher job satisfaction and workforce stability, in turn, improve the quality of care and ultimately the financial bottom line, as organisations can provide better services with fewer resources.
