Work schedules for nurses and doctors: hospital, ward, chain of clinics.

The ward schedule checks standards and rest after duty. Attendance is recorded for you.

Medical on-call duty and standby are separate shift types. Proplanum checks Polish healthcare working time standards and rest after duty while you schedule. A ward tablet and the app record attendance, also for contractors. Hours go to the HR and payroll system you already use.

On the call we set up one ward for one month. You get the result on one page.

This is how hospital management and chief nurses describe the schedule before we talk.

  1. 1

    “Our staffing standard is in an internal order, but next month's schedule does not meet it. We find out at an inspection.”

  2. 2

    “After on-call duty 11 hours of rest are due, and over 48 hours a week needs consent. We check this by hand.”

  3. 3

    “Employment, contracts and outside duty are three sets of records. Nobody has one person's total hours.”

This is the problem healthcare providers bring to us.

In a hospital, the standard sets staffing, not patient numbers. This page is written for that rhythm. Clinics and patient flow have their own section.

Hospital and wards.

Ward standard coverage for the whole month, on-call duty and standby as shift types, rest after duty checked while you schedule.

One clinic and a dozen or so people? Phone schedule, requests and time tracking are enough to start. For a single location

Standards, on-call duty and rest checked while you schedule, not at an inspection. fromStart

  • Medical on-call duty and standby are separate shift types. On-call duty counts as working time and toward the weekly limit, and rest is counted from its end. Standby counts as working time only when someone is called in.
  • Polish healthcare standards from the Act on Medical Activity are built in: 7 hours 35 minutes a day and 11 hours of rest after on-call duty. Plus on-call duty of up to 24 hours and an average 48-hour weekly limit, exceeded only with the employee's written consent.
  • The equivalent working time system in healthcare (longer shifts balanced by shorter days over the same reference period, the span over which hours are settled) is one of the working time systems. Labour Code rules with your own thresholds work alongside it.
  • You set out ward shifts in the schedule, even unassigned ones, and see gaps for the month before the team does. A minimum ward staffing level with an hour-by-hour gap report is from Premium.
  • For the organisation you choose whether a breach gives a warning or blocks saving the schedule. With a block, only an administrator or HR can knowingly save a single shift, and Proplanum logs it.

Built-in standards are the minimum in this category, not an advantage. The advantage starts in the next two sections.

  • One person can have several contracts with you. Proplanum counts each under its own rules and keeps working time per person. Enterprise
  • A ward tablet or the app records attendance, also for contractors who are not your employees. The clock-in channel and time stay in the history. from Biznes
  • Plan and actual attendance sit side by side during the month, not after it.
  • Overtime at 50% and 100%, night work, Sundays and public holidays come from time tracking, not declarations.
  • When one person works in several locations under one contract, Labour Code rules count their shifts together.

The cost of on-call duty and overtime shows in Summaries during the month, not in the payroll a month later.

Attendance report for the Polish National Health Fund (NFZ). report from Biznes

  • This applies only in Poland. From 1 November 2026, hospitals paid by the Polish National Health Fund (NFZ) for inpatient care send it a monthly attendance report, the first by 20 December 2026. Proplanum records attendance from day one, from the ward tablet and the app, also for contractors, and builds the report from the same entries.

In a chain of clinics, reception and clinic staffing follows patient flow. patient-based staffing from Premium

  • Reception on Monday morning, a diagnostic lab without a technician in the afternoon: here staffing comes from patients and visits, not a ward standard.
  • Data comes from the booking system and visits, through an integration built for your systems as part of implementation, or by file or by hand. Conversion rules are set for each location and position.
  • Proplanum prepares a ready schedule from these rules. The location coordinator corrects and publishes it. automation from Premium
  • All locations side by side: planned and actual hours, overtime, cost per hour. A person working in several locations is counted once.
  • The schedule and actual attendance are in one place, so they are easy to compare with the staffing plan you report to your payer.

Hospital and payroll systems count after the fact. Schedule and attendance come first.

The medical system handles patient admissions and billing for services. The HR and payroll system settles hours after the month closes. Proplanum plans them earlier, shows attendance during the month and hands the result to your systems.

Questions we hear before the first ward goes live.

The same way as employees: with the ward tablet or in the app. One person can have several contracts at once; Proplanum counts each under its own rules and keeps working time per person. Several contracts per person are in Enterprise.

You decide. Each rule has its own threshold and switch, and for the whole organisation you choose whether a breach warns or blocks saving. With a block, only an administrator or HR can knowingly save a single shift. The rules are in every plan.

You set out ward shifts in the schedule, even without a person, and unassigned shifts show before publishing. A minimum staffing level with an hour-by-hour gap report is from Premium. We set each ward's standards during implementation, with the chief nurse.

The hospital system handles patient admissions and billing for services. We build staffing, check standards and on-call duty, collect actual attendance and send hours to the HR and payroll system.

It will not create people. Automatic scheduling from your staffing rules (from Premium) evens out nights and weekends and saves time, and volunteers take open shifts in the app. Before approval, Proplanum checks rest.

One location starts in a few days with an account manager. A dozen or so locations take a few weeks. A hospital with many wards takes a few months; we start with one ward and add the next.

With a self-service start, data transfer is part of implementation included in your plan. Import from several systems is quoted with implementation. Our tools make it quick and keep your work running. You choose the date.

Start costs $4 per employee per month, Biznes $4.50 and Premium $5, excluding VAT; billed annually $3.50, $4 and $4.50. For more than 200 employees we prepare a custom quote. We sign a DPA with every customer; the contract term is agreed individually.

On the call we set up one ward for one month, and the result fits on one page.

  1. The ward or location to start with.You tell us how it works.
  2. Your standards and types of employment.Employment, contracts, duty via outside companies.
  3. What the start means on your side.Scope, time and who is needed.

A remote start with an account manager and online training is included in the plan price. On-site days and ward training are quoted separately, with the price agreed before the start. Hospital system integrations are built for your systems as part of implementation. With a self-service start, data transfer is included in implementation; import from several systems is quoted with it.
