For hospitals and clinics
A roster that already answers the PPBV question.
German hospitals report required against actual nursing staff per ward and per shift. Nurvo plans at that granularity in the first place, so the evidence falls out of the roster instead of being rebuilt from it each quarter.
What a hospital gets out of it
Per ward, and per shift
The PPBV reports per ward and, on adult general wards, per shift. Nurvo plans at that same granularity, so the report is a view of the roster rather than a separate exercise.
Teams that cross wards
Theatre, cleaning and medical staff do not belong to one ward. They are run as cross-ward rosters: a person can belong to several without being double-booked, and without a shift in one breaking the rest period owed from another.
Exemptions where they apply
Not every ward falls under the same rules. Exemptions are configured per ward, so an intensive care unit and a general ward are not forced into the same calculation.
Actual, not planned
Clock-in times, short-notice cover and sick notes all land in the same system as the roster. The required-versus-actual ratio therefore reflects the day, which is what the regulator is asking about.
Works council in from the start
Nurvo can run in pure proposal mode, where every change needs manual approval, and it logs the criteria and approval time behind every proposal. That is the material a co-determination discussion needs.
Multilingual teams
The staff app speaks German, English, Turkish, Polish, Romanian, Arabic and Russian. On a ward where three of those are first languages, that decides whether the roster gets read at all.
The quarter that costs a week
Ask a nursing director what the staffing report actually costs and the answer is rarely the report. It is the week before it: chasing which agency nurse covered which night in February, whether the Tuesday late shift on ward 4 ran one short or two, and which of the three spreadsheets holds the version that is right.
None of that work produces anything. It reconstructs information the hospital already had and then lost, because the roster, the cover arrangements and the clock-in times lived in different places. Keeping them in one place is not a feature so much as the removal of a recurring cost.
Questions from hospitals
Do you charge per ward or per hospital?
Per ward, at 790 € net per month, regardless of how many people work on it. For hospitals with several wards we quote a bundled rate.
We have teams that work across wards — theatre, cleaning, medical staff.
Those are run as cross-ward rosters. A member of staff can belong to several of them without being double-booked.
Which rules does Nurvo apply to our hospital?
Whichever your facility type says: the PPBV for hospitals, or § 113c SGB XI combined with the state qualified-staff ratio for long-term care. Exemptions can be configured per ward.
How do we bring the works council along?
The security and co-determination page collects everything on § 87 of the Works Constitution Act, rule checking and logging in one place — it is written to be forwarded internally. Nurvo can also be run in pure proposal mode, where every change needs manual approval.
