Getting the Most out of ESR using Establishment Control Functionality

This case study describes the introduction and some of the issues encountered when rolling out the use of the Establishment Control functionality of ESR at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals Trust (RLBUHT) from 2009 onwards.  Workforce is the biggest single expenditure for the Trust. In order to manage this huge resource better, the Trust aimed to utilise the ESR establishment control system. This would provide the opportunity to link up to date financial information/budgets to HR information.
