Challenges

Hospitals, long-term care facilities, medical care centers (MVZ), doctors’ offices, laboratories, and rehabilitation clinics face the daily challenge of balancing complex work schedules, various shift models, and stringent legal requirements. Different occupational groups—from nursing staff to administrative and kitchen personnel to cleaning staff—must be coordinated efficiently. Added to this are special provisions in collective bargaining agreements, company agreements, increasing documentation requirements, and the shortage of skilled workers. A digital solution like ZMI reduces administrative burdens, ensures smooth operations, and provides transparency for human resources departments, nursing management, and works councils.

The Right Solution for All Healthcare Facilities

Fixed Time-Tracking Terminals & Employee Self-Service

ZMI enables secure time tracking right on site—at terminals in the hospital, via the Employee Self-Service portal, or through an app. Employees can track their hours, submit requests, and view their schedules—easily and intuitively.

Digital Schedule Planning and Staff Scheduling

The ZMI – Planner module is used to centrally create, coordinate, and publish shift and duty schedules. Scheduling can be based on qualifications, department, and availability, and overstaffing and understaffing are automatically detected. This saves time and prevents scheduling errors.

Digitally Documenting Collective Bargaining Agreements & Company Agreements

ZMI takes into account collective bargaining agreements (e.g., TVöD, AVR, company-specific agreements) as well as individual works agreements. Premium pay for night shifts, weekend shifts, on-call duty, or overtime is calculated automatically—reliably and in a way that stands up to audit scrutiny.

The recorded data is automatically transferred to payroll systems such as DATEV, Sage, HS – Hamburger Software, Lexware, VOCUS, or SAP. Alternatively, the time-tracking entries can also be transferred to industry-specific software for the social sector, such as CGM Sozial. Comprehensive reports and statistics provide insights into staff hours, duty assignments, and workload—ideal for management, controlling, and nursing service management.

GoBD & GDPR Compliance

ZMI meets all legal requirements for proper time tracking. All data is stored in a tamper-proof manner and is documented in an audit-proof way—compliant with GoBD and therefore audit-ready. At the same time, the solution guarantees the highest standards of data protection under the GDPR, including role-based access and encrypted transmission.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Answers to Your Most Important Questions

    Is ZMI also suitable for smaller practices or long-term care facilities?

    Yes, ZMI has a modular design and can be used in both small and large facilities. You start with the modules you need and expand the system as needed—for example, to include shift scheduling or access control.

    With the ZMI – Planner module, you can easily create work schedules based on qualifications, shift models, or availability. Over- and understaffing are automatically displayed, and schedules can be linked directly to time tracking.

    ZMI fully incorporates company agreements and collective bargaining agreements. Premiums for night shifts, weekend shifts, on-call duty, or overtime are automatically calculated and transferred to the reporting and payroll interface.

    In addition to nursing care, administration, food service, housekeeping, therapy, and technical services can all be managed centrally within a single system. Each area can be configured with individual permissions, service models, and reports.

    All ZMI solutions are GDPR-compliant and are hosted in German data centers. Thanks to clearly defined roles and permissions, as well as encrypted data transmission, all personal data remains secure and traceable.
