At 2 a.m., your nurse knows exactly who's on call
A night nurse needs the on-call physician. Someone covered a weekend shift. The rotation cycled at midnight. Care Roster answers "who's on call right now?" the moment staff open the page — the current person, their reachable number, and the next handoff — without anyone hunting a printed schedule or a stale group text. The rotation advances itself. Coverage swaps resolve themselves. The number that shows is always the one that works. No patient data, ever.
- No patient data required
- Rotations that cycle without reminders
- Unlimited users, one flat price
On-call coordination that runs itself
Hospice on-call depends on reaching the right person instantly — and that person changes by the week, shifts coverage on short notice, and needs to be reachable the moment a nurse opens her phone at 2 a.m. Care Roster keeps all of that live and accurate without manual upkeep.
Who's on call now — answered in one tap
The On-Call page resolves to the current person automatically — name, role, and the right number to dial — the moment a nurse or clinician opens it. No scrolling a shared calendar, no scanning a group text from Sunday night, no calling the main line after hours to find out. The next handoff time is shown alongside so everyone knows what changes and when.
Rotations that cycle themselves
Set up the on-call rotation once: the people involved, the order, and the cadence. Care Roster advances the rotation at each handoff — weekly, biweekly, or a custom interval — without anyone touching a schedule. The physician who was on call last weekend automatically moves to the back of the queue; the next in line appears on call without a reminder, a text, or an edit.
Coverage swaps without rewriting the schedule
When a clinician picks up a colleague's shift, an admin records a temporary coverage window: who's covering, for whom, and the exact dates. Care Roster shows the covering person on call for that window — labeled "Covering for [name]" — and reverts to the base rotation the moment the window closes. The underlying schedule is never rewritten, so there's nothing to undo or clean up afterward.
The right number, never the old one
On-call contact records live in the same shared directory as the rest of your team. When a physician changes their after-hours cell, an editor updates it once and the on-call page reflects the new number immediately — for every nurse who opens it, on any device. No reprinting a call sheet, no "is this still the right number," no reaching a voicemail that was disconnected six months ago.
The old way vs. the Care Roster way
A printed call schedule and a group text Problem
- The printed schedule is already a week old by Friday
- Coverage swaps get texted but never officially recorded
- Night staff call the main line to ask who's on call
- The number on the sheet hasn't been updated since April
The Care Roster way Solved
- The live on-call page always reflects the current rotation
- Coverage windows are recorded and self-clearing
- Any staff member can look up who's on call from their phone
- Contact numbers update once and are live everywhere instantly
Hospice on-call directory, answered
How does Care Roster show who's on call right now?
Care Roster evaluates your rotation schedule against the current date and time and surfaces the on-call person — name, role, and reachable number — at the top of the On-Call page. Night nurses and field staff see the live view the moment they open it; no one has to scan a PDF or scroll a group text to find the answer. The next handoff time is displayed alongside the current person so anyone can see what changes and when.
Can the on-call rotation rotate automatically?
Yes. You set up the rotation once — who's in it, in what order, and how often it cycles (weekly, biweekly, or a custom cadence) — and Care Roster advances it automatically at each handoff. The right person appears on call without anyone editing a schedule or sending a reminder. Admins can still make a manual adjustment any time without breaking the underlying cycle.
What happens when someone covers a shift?
An admin records a temporary coverage override: the covering person, the date range, and the original assignee. Care Roster shows the covering person as on call for that window — with a "Covering for [name]" badge — then reverts to the regular rotation automatically when the window closes. The base schedule never gets rewritten, so no cleanup is needed afterward.
Can night staff see the on-call list without editing it?
Yes. Viewer-role accounts can open the On-Call page, see who is on call right now, tap to call, and print a dated on-call sheet — all without any ability to edit contacts, rotations, or coverage. Every plan includes unlimited users, so every nurse and field clinician can have a Viewer account at no extra cost.
