CQC Update Report
2012
STAFFING 60. Continue to review its
human resource information
systems and ensure that
accurate data is available for
the entire organisation, so that
a clear and comprehensive
understanding of vacancies can
be established.
The Trust has introduced a phased
programme to consolidate
establishment data against the
electronic staff record, including
cleansing the record of posts that
are no longer in use, and with
finance support. There have been
challenges in aligning the HR
ledger data with the electronic
record. Further work is needed
and there is, as yet, no formal
process in place or agreed for
managing establishment control.
The move to electronic staff
change / termination forms has
been difficult to implement, and
there has been a delay in getting
fully accurate reporting on
vacancies and establishment.
The Trust systems to reconcile ledger and ESR will ‘go live’ on
07/11/12 and will be evaluated for compliance on 30/11/12.
The work is led by Gill Perry; Leigh Malyon supported by Mark
Greene (Finance)
Sept 12 update: A great deal of work has taken place to align the
financial ledger with ESR. This work is now complete except for
the updating of the old subjective codes for medical staff within
the finance ledger. Updating these codes by finance will
completely align the ledger to ESR. Finance are in the process of
cleansing the old subjective codes ,
it is envisaged that this work will be complete in the next few
weeks. A process & procedure for establishment control has been
developed and agreed. Next step is the development of the
electronic change form and testing of the system – it is
anticipated this will be complete by beginning November.
