The AvaPA <-> ESR (McKesson NHS Electronic Staff Records system) has undergone its first phase of site testing at Sandwell NHS Trust. This module will allow HR information to be passed easily and quickly from ESR to AvaPA updating staff payroll and pay scale settings with the minimum of fuss.
Functionality includes mapping assignment numbers to departments and responsibilities. This means that when a Bank staff nurse is booked to a particular ward for a specified requirement, the assignment number is correctly allocated without further input. In other locations AvaPA has achieved less than 0.5% of queries across the board on payroll payments.
