After a number of teasing descriptions of our soon-to-be-launched doctor rostering and sheduling software, here we show some of it for the first time. Regular HosPortal users will be familiar with some of the shape and features, but there is plenty that is new to love. This screenshot is from an example clinical allocation, just […]
Despite years of experience with our leading healthcare and medical rostering software, getting the design of our soon-to-be launched upgrade is not easy. Partly because our new software will be considerably more powerful than the current version (so a core question is how to introduce new features without making them too confusing for users). And […]
We are always trying to improve our services, features and usability. Over recent months we have designed and implemented a range of enhancements to our on-call rosters which we think our users will like: select from a wide range of alternative views that each user can customise see multiple weeks at a time on a […]
While we were demonstrating our rostering software to the Australian and New Zealand psychiatrists at the RANZCP conference in Cairns last week we discovered a short but excellent book about design. Unusually, it was about toilets.One of our fellow exhibitors was advocating for dementia patients, and they had a short, 35-page booklet all about designing […]

It is not often we do product reviews on the HosPortal blog. Avid readers of the blog will recall our 18 June post that noted we were looking for a React developer so we can rebuild our leading rostering software to make it even better. We tested out a range of recruiting options, including proactive […]
We have recently had some great feedback on the usability of HosPortal. Our user interface is easy and intuitive to use We also recently demonstrated to a potential business partner who has reviewed almost all the doctor rostering and physician scheduling software globally. His immediate feedback was that HosPortal’s user interface was remarkable for its […]
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 […]
