Patient volume follows patterns that current staffing tools ignore. We find them, hospital by hospital, and turn them into staffing decisions you can act on.
"Clinicians dedicate their lives to helping others. The system shouldn't grind them down."
— Snehita Sana, Founder & CEO
Equishift started with one clinician. Snehita's sister spent her twenties becoming a doctor because she wanted to help people, and the system burned her out within a few years.
Our first answer was to make a scheduling tool that made healthier schedules. Clinicians wanted it, their schedules were terrible. But the people who sign the contracts wouldn't buy it, and they weren't wrong to hesitate. A better schedule doesn't show up on anyone's P&L. Staffing to the wrong number does.
So we moved upstream and built the forecast instead — the same goal, in the form a hospital can act on.
We tell you how many patients are coming, and what it would cost to be ready for them. Clinicians make the final call.

Seeking a physician leader who has run hospital operations. You'd own the clinical perspective inside the product and the relationships that get us into departments.
We recommend. The person in the department decides. There is no autopilot and no scenario where a model changes a staffing plan on its own.
Around 400 conversations with physicians, nurses, and administrators came before a single line of the current product existed.
A forecast that hides how confident it is asks clinicians to trust it blindly. We'd rather show the range and let people decide how much weight to give it.
Two versions of this company died on our own read of the data.
We're running pilot conversations with regional health systems now, and we're looking for a medical co-founder who has run an emergency department.
