eRostering

Over the past 3 years, two new technology projects led by nursing and midwifery staff at Letterkenny University Hospital (LUH) have been piloted and introduced.

Last month, the HSE’s National Nursing and Midwifery Services Director, Mary Wynne, visited Letterkenny to meet with the staff involved to acknowledge how nurses and midwives in the North West are embracing technology to enable better and safer patient care.

The eRoster Project  at Letterkenny University Hospital won two awards for their e-rostering system at the hospital, Award for improving working lives through technology - Dr Anne Drake, Director of Nursing and the second award for Outstanding contribution by an individual - Michelle Donnelly, eRostering Project Manager. The project was a finalist in five categories  at the Allocate User Group Conference which took place recently in Birmingham.
