Practice Plus Group, the UK’s leading independent provider of healthcare services in prisons and immigration removal centres, has recently announced a new 5-year contract with workforce solutions specialist RLDatix. The contract will see the implementation of RLDatix’s Optima solution, which aims to safely roster 3,300 prison healthcare staff, enabling them to deliver high-quality and equitable healthcare services.
The Optima system is set to go live later this year and will offer an integrated and responsive rostering system designed to ensure the safety of both staff and patients. It will incorporate data on staffing needs for each area of the prison and provide users with a safe and optimal roster that can be easily reviewed for safety, fairness, and value.
This solution will be used daily by a prison healthcare workforce of 3,300, supporting more than 41,000 patients at over 45 prisons across the UK. It will also help to enable the best possible rosters, matching staffing levels with patient needs, driving down agency spend, providing real-time operational data for informed decisions, and supporting staff in managing their work-life balance while reducing risk to patients.
Luke Wells, Service Director of Health in Justice at Practice Plus Group, expressed their excitement for the move to RLDatix Optima, stating that it aligns with their vision to provide safe and equitable healthcare. He also highlighted the reasons for choosing RLDatix, including the high quality and exemplary standard of data provided by their system, with a strong focus on the safety of healthcare staff and patients.
Jonny Newsham, Head of Independent Healthcare and Partnerships at RLDatix, also shared their enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that their people rostering technology provides a holistic view of staffing needs across prisons where Practice Plus Group provides healthcare services. He also encouraged organizations to discover more about RLDatix Optima and sign up for a roster assessment to review potential workforce process improvements.
