The Excel and WhatsApp problem

Most hospital departments in India still build the monthly duty roster in Excel and manage every change on WhatsApp. It works until someone falls ill, two people swap without telling anyone, or a unit is left without a senior on a Sunday night.

The roster lives in one person's Excel
A senior resident or coordinator spends evenings building it, and only they understand the formulas.
Changes happen on WhatsApp
Swaps and leave are agreed in group chats, so the published roster is out of date within days.
Nobody can prove it is fair
Who did the most nights and Sundays this quarter? In a spreadsheet, no one knows, and the same doctors keep asking.

Senior and junior cover, and rest after nights

PlanMyRounds treats senior and junior composition and post-night rest as hard rules. Every shift gets the seniors it needs, and no doctor is put back on duty before the recovery window after a night has passed.

Minimum seniors and juniors on every shift
Recovery window after each night duty
No unsafe back-to-back long duties
Limits on consecutive workdays and total hours

Department-level rosters

Each department keeps its own shifts, staffing and policies. Doctors see all of their duties, across every department and location, in one calendar. HODs and Medical Superintendents filter by department or doctor to spot gaps, and every department gets a downloadable monthly leave report.

Leave collected before each cycle

Before each roster, PlanMyRounds asks doctors to submit leave and availability in the app. The HOD or roster admin approves requests, and approved leave becomes a hard rule, so no one is rostered on a day they are away. Full-day and single-shift leave are both supported.

How Auto Mode runs the monthly cycle

Adoption without IT approval

PlanMyRounds needs no installation or integration to start. The roster admin sets up the department in the browser, and doctors install the iOS or Android app. HRMS and central leave systems can be connected later if the hospital wants them.

Duty roster FAQ

How do you make a doctor duty roster?

List the shifts each day needs and how many doctors, and how many seniors, each shift requires. Collect leave and availability before the month starts. Set rest rules, such as time off after a night duty. Then assign shifts so every slot is covered and nights and Sundays are shared evenly. PlanMyRounds does the assignment automatically once the rules and leave are in.

What is the best duty roster software for hospitals in India?

Look for software that enforces senior and junior cover, respects approved leave, protects rest after nights, shares the workload fairly, and works on doctors' phones without IT setup. PlanMyRounds is built in Bangalore for Indian hospital departments and does all of these, with pricing in rupees.

How much does PlanMyRounds cost in India?

PlanMyRounds is free for up to 10 doctors. For up to 50 doctors it costs ₹5,500 per month flat, or ₹4,999 per month billed annually. For 51+ doctors it is ₹220 per doctor per month, or ₹190 billed annually.

Do we need IT approval to start?

No. PlanMyRounds runs in the browser and on iOS and Android, so a department can start on its own. HRMS and leave system integrations are optional and can be added later.

Can doctors apply for leave and swap duties from their phones?

Yes. Doctors submit leave and availability and request swaps in the iOS or Android app. Every swap is checked against the department's rules before it is approved.
