With close to 1500 wards total, the amount of resources needed to produce weekly staff rosters for each ward is tremendous and extremely time consuming. Previously, most staff rosters were generated manually. Without computer records, it was difficult for HA to produce workforce statistics or to improve resource efficiency. In early 1997, the Hospital Authority embarked on a strategic Staff Rostering System project to provide automation support in managing their large workforce of over 48,000 full-time hospital staff.
