In many clinics the team doesn't always work the same hours: one week the dentist sees patients in the morning and the next in the afternoon, and the hygienist does the opposite. Redoing the schedule every Monday is a job nobody wants, and the day it's forgotten, a patient gets an appointment with a dentist who isn't in.
With rotating shifts, the rotation is set up once. You create the shifts with their hours, say how many weeks the cycle repeats over and which shift each person works each week. From then on ClaudIA only offers each professional the hours of their shift that week, and the diary shades out what isn't theirs.
One-off changes are noted with their date: two dentists swapping shifts, someone working a full day on a particular date. Holidays and absences still take priority, and anyone outside the rotation keeps their usual hours.
How it works
- In Team, Shifts tab, you create the shifts with their hours: for example, morning and afternoon.
- You say how many weeks the cycle repeats over and who is on mornings this week.
- You mark who rotates and which shift they work each week; everyone else keeps their hours.
- Before saving you see the next eight weeks: exactly what ClaudIA will offer.
