The Electronic Staff Record (ESR) system is the backbone of the NHS. It was developed over 20 years ago and performs a vital job recording data, paying people and keeping NHS people services running smoothly.
However, with new NHS changes and additional data and reporting requirements, many NHS organisations are finding it increasingly challenging to modify ESR to gather and analyse new data or pull off accurate and up to date reports to meet new requirements
As a result, many are spending time, money and effort on developing manual workarounds to get the right information into the right format at the right time. In some cases, local IT teams have been tasked to build in functional shortcuts or reporting engines, but all too often, they find it challenging to change ESR as it requires specialist knowledge.
Flexible, automated ESR that delivers what you need, when you need it
At NHS SBS, we’re ESR experts. We know ESR inside out, (in fact, our teams implemented the original system!) and can quickly make changes that deliver a major and immediate impact.
Our Workforce Consultancy experts can fine tune your ESR system, streamlining processes and automating repetitive tasks such as weekly, monthly or annual reports – so you and your staff don’t have to spend valuable time and effort on this.
And best of all, it means you always have the most accurate, up to date information you need at your fingertips – so you can make better, more timely decisions.
Delivering big savings in time, money and effort
We’ve optimised ESR systems for many organisations across England, introducing new processes and automation and saving tens of thousands of hours of admin – as well as freeing up NHS People and IT teams to focus on more urgent, patient facing tasks
What’s more, we’re quick and easy to engage and can make a real difference in just a few weeks.
