CuraPatient Celebrates International Nursing Day
International Nursing Day is celebrated every year on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. The theme for 2022 is “Nurses: A Voice to Lead - Invest in Nursing and Respect Rights to Secure Global Health.” With the world still in the midst of the COVID pandemic, incredible strains on frontline healthcare workers, and healthcare workers leaving the profession in record numbers, the need to support nurses has never been more pressing.
According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, “Insufficient staffing is raising the stress level of nurses, impacting job satisfaction, and driving many nurses to leave the profession… the nursing shortage presents a major problem for the quality of their work-life, the quality of patient care, and the amount of time nurses can spend with patients.” And the pandemic has only made matters worse. As Eric Humphrey, chief HR officer at Froedtert Health in Wisconsin was quoted as saying in Digital Health, “It’s always been a challenge but with the pandemic we saw a lot of nurses choose to retire, others who decided to stay at home with their kids or work part-time, and some who just left healthcare altogether.”
In addition to staffing and workload challenges, nurses also have to deal with outdated EHR systems, archaic assessment procedures that result in redundant data, and a mish-mash of analog and digital processes. And there is the added stress of another rise in COVID case counts.?
The staffing and workload issues will take time to address, but CuraPatient offers a digital solution that can ease the burden on nurses and help them offer better care.?

CuraPatient gives each nurse a visual dashboard for the day, including upcoming appointments. There’s a built-in task manager so they can see which patients have completed assignments. And there’s an internal messaging system so they can securely message other nurses, case managers, supervisors, or providers within the system.
Each visit is assisted by CuraPatient. From the “Today’s Appointments” tab, a nurse can pull a patient’s record by simply tapping on the patient’s name, and they’ll be taken to the appointment overview screen. The appointment overview is where they can address the patient’s ongoing care by adding customized care plans, assigning assessments, inputting vitals, and providing educational resources for the patient to read and refer to at home.?
Updates to the patient’s contact, family, or other information can be filled out by the patient on the mobile app, minimizing the need for repetitive paperwork for the nurse. They can easily update the assessments in their patient’s profile, inputting BMI, clinical measurements, and locations of any pain that their patient may be experiencing. And they can perform customized assessments by selecting from available options. CuraPatient also offers a medication management system to ensure the right medications are prescribed and are being taken correctly by the patient at home.?
