United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust Selects...

LONDON, November 14 /PRNewswire/ --     Manpower Software plc, the leading 
provider of workforce optimisation and
electronic rostering solutions in the UK healthcare market, is pleased to
announce that United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust has selected Manpower
Software's MAPS Healthroster solution for electronic rostering of all their
staff groups including Junior Doctors and Consultants, after a thorough
evaluation of competitive offerings. The contract has been won as part of the
framework agreement awarded last year by the NHS re:source Procurement Hub
for the East Midlands region.



    Colin Evans, Associate Director of Supplies at United Lincolnshire
Hospitals NHS Trust commented: "We chose Manpower Software for their strong
proven customer track record in NHS Trusts across the UK and for the superior
functionality and ease of use of MAPS Healthroster. Key capabilities we
considered of most importance to us which MAPS Healthroster was able to
deliver over the other vendors, included: its proven ESR integration which
will help us reduce payroll admin and improve payroll accuracy and its proven
integration with Bank. We look forward to working with the team at Manpower
Software."



    Key to choosing MAPS Healthroster is the proven capability to offer more
than simple electronic rostering to NHS Trusts. Expected benefits from the
solution include improved nurse rosters, patient safety, improved quality of
life for nursing staff and more accurate payroll records.



    Commenting on the announcement, Paul Scandrett, Manpower Software's
Director of Healthcare commented: "We are delighted by this latest contract
award. United Lincolnshire Hospitals is a Trust that provides services to a
large geographical area and we look forward to helping the Trust achieve
their goals. We have been particularly impressed with the work already
undertaken by the Trust which will provide an excellent foundation for the
project. Our NHS client base now totals over 150 Trusts, 53 of which have
chosen MAPS Healthroster."
