Clipboard Health connects healthcare facilities with local professionals who can work unfilled shifts. Patients get improved care, and nurses get more flexibility and higher pay. Nurses can compare work details and pay rates (or negotiate for more) in an open, transparent marketplace. Today, healthcare facilities are understaffed, which can result in poor patient care, regulatory penalties, and employee burnout. Meanwhile, local nurses have time and want to pick up extra shifts. These two parties don’t know each other and aren’t sure if they can work together (licenses, qualifications, or even trust might get in the way). Clipboard Health exists to solve this problem.
