HosPortal is distinctive in serving Australian anaesthetists for their rostering and on-call needs, with over 25 anaesthetic departments at some of the country’s largest hospitals. But we are also growing in other exciting areas, too.In the next couple of blog posts we talk about some of our new business outside anaesthetics. Radiologist rostering We have […]
We have mentioned in a couple of earlier blogs that we are having a really successful time demonstrating at the ANZCA and RACS conferences. A surgery fashion statement Our branded surgical caps have been particularly popular. You are welcome to pick up one of our mens’ (tie-back) or womens’ (elastic-back) caps if you come and visit our […]
HosPortal is demonstrating at the ANZCA (anaesthetists) and RACS (surgeons) conferences this week in Sydney.We have been overwhelmed by the positive interest from potential new customers. In the first two days we have had interest from a dozen hospitals across five Australian states and New Zealand. This includes a couple of really large public hospitals, and an […]
We know that a finance team sometimes needs more convincing than the doctors who use our system. In November we wrote a blog post about our spreadsheet template that potential customers can use to assess costs and benefits for HosPortal for their own hospitals. We have now refined it further to make it even better […]
One of the things we exercise our minds about quite a lot at HosPortal is how to make our rostering and communications software as intuitive as possible for our users. This is not that easy. Roster administration for different users We actually have at least two sets of users, being doctors (narrowly-skilled and time-poor) and […]
It is rare that HosPortal gets to demonstrate to the hospital bean-counters. Recently we had a pre-sales demonstration at a public hospital where everyone was invited: doctors, heads of department, nurse administrators and the head of finance.The doctors and roster administrators were really impressed, which is what we have come to expect.But we also received […]
HosPortal is designed so that it can be the single point to manage both the on-call roster (generate the roster, manage changes), and the process of call-backs (who is on call right now, and how do I contact them?). For the latter, HosPortal has a powerful ‘Notify’ function that many hospitals are not using to […]
HosPortal is used for rostering and communications by anaesthetists, surgeons, physicians, emergency doctors and nurses. But because the business started with anaesthetists, and was founded by an anaesthetist, we have a particular soft-spot for the doctors who pass gas. And we know that our snooze-maker colleagues love the improvements we bring to their hospitals.So we […]
We recently set a new record for the time to fill an annual on-call roster: fifteen minutes. Let me write that again: 365 shifts across a 12-month roter allocated across over 200 doctors in less than 15 minutes. See ‘Hospital B’ on the chart here.Actually, we thought we’d set a record only a few hours […]
HosPortal is delighted to welcome our new administration and support executive, Eliza Scott. She has the unenviable task of keeping the management team in order and on track at our weekly meetings and keeping everyone on top of their ever-growing to-do lists.Eliza also has the more satisfying task of looking after our customers and the […]
