NurseIO

NurseIO operates as a technology-driven marketplace in the healthcare staffing sector, connecting healthcare facilities with credentialed nursing professionals for on-demand, per diem shifts. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, the company was established by Seth Courson, Ryan Kober, and Callie Ott. The founders' journey began with the acquisition of a traditional staffing agency, where they identified the potential to leverage technology to streamline operations. This led to the development of the NurseIO platform, which was built after the team went through the Coplex accelerator program in 2018. Courson's background is in business management, Kober brought experience from Cisco, and Ott had a history in district management and healthcare consulting.

The company's business model centers on its web and mobile application, which serves a two-sided market. Healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and senior care homes, post open per diem shifts to fill immediate staffing gaps or cover short-term needs. On the other side, verified and credentialed healthcare professionals, including RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, can browse and accept these shifts in real-time. This model provides flexibility for both parties; facilities avoid long-term agency contracts, and professionals gain control over their work schedules. NurseIO generates revenue by invoicing the healthcare facilities on a weekly basis for the shifts filled through its platform. A key feature for the nursing professionals is the ability to receive instant payment immediately after a shift is completed.

The NurseIO platform offers a suite of tools designed to manage the staffing process efficiently. For healthcare facilities, the service includes credential and certification verification upfront, which removes a significant administrative burden. The platform also features tools like "Secure Tag," which uses geofencing technology to verify on-site attendance for accurate billing. For healthcare professionals, the app provides the freedom to work as independent contractors without minimum hour requirements, offering a better work-life balance. By November 2022, the platform had over 33,000 registered healthcare professionals. The company reports an estimated annual revenue of around $20.2 million.
