Modules, locations & rooms

Tempo rotas are firstly, grouped into Modules

Everyone knows what a Practice location is and what a room is, but what is a module?

Modules are the key additional element that allows for a better utilisation of locations and rooms.

A module is a bit of additional (notional) structure within rota design, that creates the basis for better flexibility in rota sessions.

A module is a way to firstly. ask: “What team is this work for” BEFORE asking “where is this work being done?”

When you add this additional bit of structure to a rota, as a top level grouping of work, it enables work to be done anywhere in the organisation (include at home or in a virtual location) and for that work to be properly counted for the group it belongs to.

Modules enable a more flexible use of locations across the whole organisation.

After work is first identified in the module it belongs to, locations and rooms can be assigned to that work, based on a priority.
