12IC – Duty to have real-time staffing assessment in place

The NHS Golden Jubilee position with this duty remains as reasonable (100%). The application of e-rostering will support compliance with the legislative requirement of this duty. There is a plan in place for continued roll out of eRoster.

Safe Care®* has yet to be adopted, and until there is wider use of eRoster across NHS Golden Jubilee, we will continue with interim processes.

Colleagues are utilising local processes (including Medirota®)** and local escalation tools (the decision support escalation tool). As part of the reporting system colleagues are asked to describe and document current process.
