M7 Health

I'm excited to be attending HIMSS 2025 next week, where nursing informatics takes center stage. The Nursing Informatics Forum at HIMSS will highlight how nurses are leading healthcare’s digital transformation through data-driven innovation, technology, and leadership. I'm particularly excited about 3 sessions: 1?? Alleviating Nursing Burden: Administrative & Documentation This session with Tracy Breece, MSN, NI-BC, CPHIMS and Cheryl Denison BSN, RN, NI-BC from Mercy will address one of the biggest challenges in nursing today — administrative burdens pulling nurses away from patient care — the same problem M7 Health is trying to solve. More importantly, Tracy and Cheryl will introduce AI-driven tools and automation strategies to streamline documentation and give nurses back their time. 2?? Collaborative Leadership: Fueling Digital Health Innovation. In this panel, Anna Schoenbaum- DNP, MS, RN, NI-BC, FHIMSS, FAAN from Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Health System, Murat Uralkan from Houston Methodist, and a great mentor to me, Hiyam Nadel MBA, CCG RN, FIEL from Mass General Hospital will discuss how breaking down silos and fostering cross-functional teams can accelerate adoption of new innovative solutions. Innovation happens when the right people come together—this session will explore how we can make that collaboration more effective. 3?? Resilience Through Innovation: AI-Powered Healthcare Solutions & Entrepreneurship During Crisis This presentation from Sigal Shafran Tikva CCRN, MPH, MHA, PhD from Hadassah Medical Center will cover how AI and emerging technologies can sustain healthcare services even in the most challenging environments. I’m eager to hear how leaders are leveraging technology to drive resilience among the nursing workforce. ++++ If you’re attending HIMSS 2025 and want to chat about nurse-led innovation or M7 Health and how we’re tackling these challenges, send me a message—I’d love to connect! #HIMSS2025 #NursingInformatics #HealthcareInnovation

I was drawn to the company’s human-centered approach, establishing bi-directional relationships with its users and actively incorporating their insights into the platform.

We are thrilled to have another all-star joining the M7 Health team this week???? Welcome Lindsey Renner, MPH! We can't wait to see the impact you make for our customers (thousands of nurses!) across the country. --- *What drew you to M7?* From the moment I first spoke with Ilana Borkenstein RN, MBA and Eric Gruskin, I knew what they were building at M7 was something special - something that I wanted to be a part of. Having worked for and alongside inspiring L&D and postpartum nurses the past few years, I was drawn to the company’s commitment to placing autonomy and transparency at the heart of nurse scheduling, and aligning nurses’ personal needs and professional goals. As an endlessly curious individual, I recognized the same inquisitive spirit across the M7 team - a team of professionals energized by tackling technical challenges, passionate about addressing innovation gaps, and above all, fueled by a shared mission to transform the nursing experience and retain the largest sector of our healthcare workforce. *What is your favorite thing about your job/working at M7?* What I love most about working at M7 is our user-centered approach to product design and implementation - prioritizing deep understanding of the nurse experience and placing their hopes, needs, challenges, and joys at the center of all we build for. As an Account Manager, I am excited to partner with nurses - healthcare’s greatest problem-solvers and innovators - and leverage their unique insights to maximize the impact of the M7 platform at scale. *What are your favorite activities outside of work?* Anything outdoors - I love hiking, skiing, biking, and exploring new spots in the beautiful Upper Valley. My perfect day starts with a yoga class or coffee walk along the Charles River Esplanade, and ends with a relaxing evening on our roof with a good book. Above all - my biggest joy in life is spending time with family, friends, and our dog, Ted. *Tell us a surprising or fun fact about yourself* I could solely watch the Mamma Mia! movies on repeat for the rest of my life and be perfectly content.

I'm excited to announce the most recent M7 Health launch at The Bradley Center in Columbus, GA! The Bradley Center is a behavioral health facility and is part of St. Francis-Emory Healthcare. It’s been so much fun working with the Bradley Center team. Kudos to you for welcoming innovation, promoting flexibility in scheduling, and saving your nurse leaders time! M7 Health is proud to support this mission-critical initiative. Here’s a picture of the M7 team hard at work with some of the amazing nurses and techs at the Bradley Center.

It was great chatting with Patty Enrado on the HIMSSCast podcast. At #HIMSS2024, I participated in the NursePitch competition, where several nurse entrepreneurs shared their innovations and entrepreneurial journeys. M7 Health was fortunate enough to win the competition, and I was asked to speak about my experience on the HIMSSCast podcast this month. The podcast link is in the comments below, but here is the TL;DR version. 1?? Attitude of gratitude It was an honor to be selected, but I wouldn’t have made it this far without great mentors. A special shoutout to Lisa Stephenson, Whende M. Carroll, MSN, RN, NI-BC, and Taylor Diani, MBA, MSN, RN, for being great coaches. I also feel privileged to meet and spend time with my fellow finalists, Colin Plover and Patience Gitau. 2?? NursePitch itself is the win Nurses are the largest sector of the healthcare workforce. The recognition of nurse-led innovation by HIMSS is a significant milestone for the nursing community. Dedicating the NursePitch session to nurse entrepreneurship underscores nurses' vital role in the broader?healthcare ecosystem. 3?? Good solutions start with messy problems. When I was a nurse, a phenomenal nurse owned scheduling. She spent a huge amount of time on it every month. I always thought it was a shame that an experienced nurse had to spend so much time on scheduling instead of spending more time with patients, new nurses, or working on quality initiatives. This led to the idea for M7 Health. 4?? Trust is the cornerstone for change You’d think a new solution that involves more efficient scheduling and more satisfied staff would be an easy sell. No matter how great your product is, convincing healthcare executives to deviate from incumbent processes to do something different and unproven is a massive challenge. You must establish trust to find early believers who are willing to take a calculated risk and give innovation a chance. 5?? Nurses are trained to be great entrepreneurs We are constantly operating with imperfect information. We make decisions on behalf of our patients' well-being under enormous pressure and with limited time. Without all the answers, we make our best decision for the patient. If that solution doesn't work, we try something else. That is the crux of entrepreneurship. 6?? Start entrepreneurship in small steps If you are a nurse who wants to be an entrepreneur, don’t get stuck ideating. Start testing in an analog way. You don’t need to quit your job and hire an engineer to build an app. We found nurses who were willing to share their scheduling preference papers with us. From that, we built schedule report prototypes in Excel and PowerPoint. Enough nurses loved the outcome that we decided to build software around it When there is enough market pull, you can consider quitting your job and raising capital. –-- Thank you HIMSS for allowing me to share my story! #nurseentrepreneurs #nurseledinnovation

I’m so proud of Johnson & Johnson Nurse Innovation Fellows Ena Williams, PhD, MBA, RN, CENP, FAAN and Jeannette Bronsord DNP, MSN, MS, RN, NEA-BC from Yale New Haven Health. The J&J Nurse Fellowship is a year-long program that helps bring innovation to the nursing profession via nurse leaders at leading hospitals. During the program, participants identify a problem within their own system and leverage the human-centered design skills they learn through the program to prototype a solution. The culmination of the program is a pitch to 200+ nursing leaders. The presentations were phenomenal. I participated in the program as a mentor and pitch coach. Ena, Chief Nursing Officer, and Jeannette, Executive Director of Surgical Services, prototyped an AI-driven patient assignment generator that alleviates charge nurses of the daunting task of assigning patients equitably and fairly. The tool makes sure new nurses are not overwhelmed and still learning… While protecting senior nurses from burnout caused by always caring for the the “heaviest” patients. ? What impressed me the most was how Ena and Jeannette involved their team. They brought a group of 20+ front-line staff together on a regular basis over the course of the year to unpack the problem(s) at hand, clearly define the desired outcome, and create several iterations of a prototype. Their project exemplified human-centered design. And I can’t wait to see how the initiative and product evolve from here. I am so thankful to have gotten to know them through this program. They were amazing “students” of nurse-led innovation and entrepreneurship. And as an entrepreneur serving nurse leaders just like them, I learned so much from them.? ? Congrats on an amazing pitch and successful fellowship! #nurseledinnovation #nurseleaders??
