Health, Wellness, and BeautyStaffing & Scheduling4HighNurse$ implied
Nurses at HCA hospitals are told to come in hours later than their scheduled start time, then the shift is canceled last minute, without any on-call pay, causing lost income and inability to pick up other shifts.
Current scheduling system allows managers to delay and cancel shifts arbitrarily without compensation, and nurses have no visibility into shift stability to plan backup work.

A fair scheduling platform for hospitals that eliminates last-minute cancellations without pay. It requires management to commit to shifts with compensation for late changes, and gives nurses real-time shift stability scores so they can decide whether to pick up PRN work elsewhere.

- Real-time shift stability indicator (green/yellow/red) based on historical cancellation patterns
- Integrated PRN shift marketplace to instantly pick up available shifts at other facilities
- Manager accountability dashboard showing late-call and cancellation rates
- Mobile app for schedule view, shift swap, and instant notifications
Target Users: Hospital nursing staff and scheduling managers at large healthcare systems like HCA
Revenue Model: $5 per nurse per month paid by hospital, with a premium tier at $10/mo for advanced analytics and PRN marketplace integration
