We are all excited to announce that HosPortal is now a global company. We secured our first overseas customer for our world-leading medical rostering product, in New Zealand. It is also only our second non-hospital user. More details about both topics in future blogposts.An interesting feature of our international expansion is how we have made […]
We have had to lift our game since the RACMA conference, with a bunch of roster and patient survey sales leads keeping us all very busy. Apart from demonstrations and video conferences we have also been keeping the developers busy with a myriad of small changes. You might want to check out the following. You […]
We are delighted to announce that we now have a preference-based rostering tool that will suit the specific needs of physicians, surgeons and other craft groups. ‘Selection rostering’ vs ‘Preference rostering’ Our selection-based rostering has been active for some years and is loved by the craft groups that use it to fill rosters extremely quickly […]
HosPortal has had a long-standing aversion to try to fully automate rostering. We know this is all the trend in the USA, but we have been concerned that the complexities of the rosters in any real hospital mean that having a system to manage it also requires hiring a quantitative analyst to manage the system!Since […]

We were very pleased with the positive results.We also had some constructive comments that we have folded into our future development pipeline. Look forward to further enhancements in the coming months. Great overall experience 76% of our respondents […]

But it took a while to understand the question. […]
In an earlier post we mentioned that we have been looking at other medical rostering software (or physician scheduling software, if you are in the US).There seems to be a trend to try to make rostering easier by increasing the sophistication of the rostering algorithms and AI (artificial intelligence) that can be used to take […]
