NHS Scotland Seeks New HRIS
February 15, 2010 in Public Services, Workforce Management
NHS Scotland has started a procurement process for a single national human resources information suite
The tender, which follows on from much earlier work on developing the user requirements and specification, envisages a five year contract.
The system will cover recruitment, training administration, attendance management, employee relations processing and medical staffing and is expected to have interface requirements to other systems including -
- payroll
- time and attendance
- expenses management
- occupational health transferable records
- performance management and appraisal
- “staff bank” management
- e-rostering.
NHS Scotland is looking for a single supplier who can provide the system, training and disaster recovery, support and development and possibly hosting services for all the health boards in Scotland and the organisations that work with them. Read the rest of this entry →
Attractor has worked with an NHS payroll team during the Autmun of 2009 identifying actions to deliver more effective and efficient services.
The NHS Electronic Staff Record forced organisations to review working methods in HR, Payroll and Finance – a significant challenge for all teams.
A key driver for ESR, a common platform for human resources and payroll information management was the aim of providing more comprehensive and accurate pictures of the NHS workforce. The ESR data warehouse has been providing key statistics for Strategic Health Authorities and the Department of Health for some time, but delivering joined up change across the service is very difficult.
The Electronic Staff Record, an Oracle-based integrated HR and Payroll solution, was implemented across the NHS as an enabling “service solution” for transactional processes and business intelligence for corporate teams.
With expenses in the news for months, MPs and Directors (both public and private sectors) have been in the firing line.
