About Rondus

Made by people who did the rostering themselves

Rondus was built by a paediatrician and an IT specialist. Our aim reaches beyond one hospital: we want to help schedulers and care professionals everywhere make rostering simple, fair and explainable.

Why Rondus exists

Rondus does not come from a drawing board, but from everyday practice in the hospital.

  • 3-4working days a quarter went into the roster of one rostering group
  • 10+years of experience with rostering in different systems
  • 6years of experience as a capacity manager in a university medical centre

It started with Sander. As a paediatrician he made the roster for several specialties and training groups for years. With experience it went faster, but never fast enough: every quarter it took three to four working days to get all shifts covered and shared out fairly.

At the same time the pressure on care grew. As a capacity manager Sander saw hospitals plan from the number of people available, while the demand for care ought to be the starting point. His conclusion: roster and capacity belong together, not in two separate systems.

Robert-Jan made that idea real. He translated practice into a program that brings the complex back to something simple: a roster that just works. Together they built Rondus, in which shifts, qualifications, staffing requirements and working agreements finally come together instead of working against each other.

For years I made the roster by hand in the evenings, in Excel. Without an overview, and without anyone being able to see why it was shared out that way. That is why we built Rondus: automatic, transparent and within the agreements you set yourself.

What webelieve in

Rostering in care is a craft of its own, but in too many places it is still treated as a spreadsheet chore. We believe it can be different.

  • The roster follows your rules

    No two rostering groups are alike. You set the shift codes, agreements and collective agreement (cao) profile yourself. Rondus rosters within them, even with complex rules.

  • No black box

    For every proposed shift you see why that person was up. So the conversation is about the agreement, not the outcome.

  • Planning from the demand for care

    With the optional capacity module you align the roster with your annual budget, production targets and waiting lists.

    In development

Rondus is for hospitals (medical specialists, residents, doctors not in training, physician assistants and nurse practitioners), general practices, mental health institutions, nursing and home care organisations, physiotherapy practices, pharmacies and veterinary practices. View all modules

Who we are

A doctor who knows how rostering works on the ward, and an IT specialist who turns that into software that works. You always talk to the people who make Rondus.

    Robert-Jan is an IT specialist, co-founder and the technical force behind Rondus. He translates practice into a program that is robust and grows with every rostering group.

A roster that is right,and feels fair

That is the circle we want to close: from years of frustration to a system that makes rostering simple, transparent and automatic. Not because it can be done, but because care deserves it.
