- Analytics on submission rates, workload and trends over time
- Notifications and reminders to staff and supervisors
- Audit logs covering submission, edit and approval
Notes on the approach
EDRS is workforce data at its most granular: who is working, in which department, on what, on a given day. That makes it directly relevant to workforce planning and to any national health workforce reporting obligation.
The design problem was adoption. A daily report that takes ten minutes will not be filled in. The submission form was kept short, defaulted from the previous entry, and made reachable on a phone.
