Enterprise-Grade AI for Nursing Shift Communication & Continuity of Care

Keep critical patient context moving from shift to shift, with clearer handoffs, better accountability, and less administrative burden for nurses.

Begin Your Shift With Clarity. End With Confidence.

The reality

A lot happens in a shift. The next nurse needs to know what changed.

Orders change. Patient conditions change. Families raise concerns. Tasks remain unfinished. Priorities shift.

By the end of a 12-hour shift, the information the next nurse needs may be spread across the EHR, handwritten notes, verbal conversations, and memory.

  • Family concern“Can you call?”
  • Verbal updatesFrom day team

The next nurse shouldn’t have to reconstruct the story.

At shift change

0645.One shift ends.Another takes over.

In minutes, responsibility changes hands.

The incoming nurse has to understand what changed, what matters now, and what still needs attention: quickly, clearly, and without piecing the story together from the chart, notes, conversations, or memory.

That’s where continuity can break.

When context doesn’t carry forward

The impact reaches far beyond the handoff.

When critical patient context is missed, delayed, or difficult to find, the consequences can show up across patient safety, nursing workload, workforce stability, and organizational cost.

Built for continuity

When context is scattered, continuity depends on reconstruction.

CareShift is designed to change that.

Carrying the patient story forward.

Capture what matters during the shift, bring critical context together, and carry outstanding work forward, so the outgoing nurse can end with confidence and the incoming nurse can begin with clarity.

It brings the story together:

  • What changed?
  • What are key concerns?
  • What still needs attention?

Our mission

Make every shift safer, clearer, and more connected.

Strengthen continuity of care by ensuring critical patient context moves clearly and responsibly from one caregiver to the next.

Care does not stop when a shift ends. The responsibility may change hands, but the patient story continues.

Our mission at CareShift is to make sure the critical context, priorities, and follow-up from one shift carry clearly into the next, so nurses can spend less time reconstructing information and more time focused on care.

We believe better continuity starts with better communication.

Built around the people delivering care

CareShift is designed alongside nurses and care teams to fit the way work actually happens: capturing what matters during the shift, supporting clearer handoffs, and helping teams follow through on what comes next.

Technology should reduce burden, not add to it

We use AI to organize information, surface what matters, and support nurses’ clinical workflow, not replace their judgment.

Continuity is a team responsibility

From the bedside nurse to the nurse manager and clinical leadership, everyone should have the visibility they need to keep care moving forward.

Our goal is simple: Help every nurse begin their shift with clarity, end with confidence, and know that what matters most is carried forward.

The team

The people behind CareShift.

CareShift is built by a multidisciplinary team spanning healthcare, nursing, technology, and AI-pioneer, and shaped by the practicing nurses who experience shift change every day. Different backgrounds. One shared conviction: nothing important should be lost between shifts.

Nurses and clinicians who believe in this mission.

When handoffs are clear and consistent, nurses communicate better, spend less time piecing information together, and get to focus on what actually matters: the patient. That's the change worth fighting for.

Dr. Kymberlee CoxDr. Kymberlee CoxChief Nursing Officer · Johns Hopkins Hospital

This is the kind of change healthcare workers truly need: one that respects nurses' expertise, eases the burden, and strengthens communication at the moments that matter most.

Nadine WilliamsonNadine WilliamsonExecutive Senior Vice President · 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East

Anything that gives nurses back the time we lose to documentation, and protects the details that keep patients safe, has my full support.

SSSara StoneRegistered Nurse · Enhabit, Inc.

A handoff should help me organize my thoughts and feel confident that nothing critical is missed, supporting nurses instead of slowing us down. That's clarity, safety, and peace of mind at every shift change.

Shannetta Simon, RNShannetta Simon, RNRegistered Nurse · Children's of Alabama

Handoffs should support sound clinical judgment and help nurses feel confident nothing important is overlooked. When something truly supports how nurses think and work, it has real value at the bedside.

Sealena WhiteSealena WhiteAssistant Director ESP ITT, Clinical Instructor · Emory Healthcare

Better handoffs mean information moves cleanly across the whole care team: safer discharges, better coordination, and real continuity of care for the people we serve.
