HealthRoster review
Demand-aware rostering with automated and staff-led scheduling for healthcare teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
HealthRoster, which RLDatix now refers to as Optima, is workforce rostering software for healthcare and care organisations. It is aimed at mid-market and enterprise teams managing clinical and non-clinical staff, including organisations that need rosters to reflect care demand as well as individual availability and skills. Its focus is operational workforce planning rather than a general-purpose staff calendar.
Rostering can be automated or opened to self-rostering within defined parameters. In either case, the system accounts for staff skills, leave requests and working patterns, and can match staffing to care demand and skill mix. That combination is relevant to multidisciplinary teams balancing coverage needs with staff preferences. HealthRoster also offers insights for monitoring staffing and roster performance. Through the Loop employee app, staff can access rosters, book bank shifts, submit leave requests and manage timesheets, extending the workflow beyond roster creation.
RLDatix lists casual and agency management solutions as integrations, while the pricing model is contact sales. The published product description positions Optima around staffing safety, compliance, costs and staff flexibility across teams and sites; buyers should assess how its roster rules and workflows fit their own operating requirements. This is a stronger fit for care organisations coordinating complex, demand-matched rosters than for small teams seeking a simple scheduling app. Consider alternatives if you need published plan pricing or a broader stated integration ecosystem.
