Clinada is the shift management app built exclusively for bedside nurses. Organize your entire shift — medications, labs, vitals, assessments, drains, and IVs — in one secure, HIPAA-compliant workspace. SHIFT PLANNING MADE SIMPLE Add your patients and build your shift schedule in seconds. Assign meds, labs, vitals, assessments, and procedures to specific time slots. See your full shift at a glance with color-coded task cards that update in real time as you complete care. MEDICATION TRACKING Schedule medications with frequency support (Q4H, Q6H, Q8H, BID, TID, QID, Daily, PRN). Track administration times, set reminders, and never miss a dose. Searchable medication database with thousands of entries. LABS & DIAGNOSTICS Track pending labs and diagnostic tests by time slot. Monitor what's due, what's been drawn, and what results are outstanding. Schedule recurring labs with the same flexible frequency options as meds. VITALS & ASSESSMENTS Log vital signs and head-to-toe assessments at each rounding interval. Keep your clinical data organized and accessible throughout the shift. DRAINS, FLUIDS & IVs Document drain outputs, IV infusions, and fluid management. Track I&O with precision and keep all clinical documentation in one place. CLINICAL NOTES Add free-text notes to any patient at any time slot. Capture important details, physician orders, family updates, and shift observations without switching apps. SECURE PATIENT HANDOFF Transfer patient data to the next nurse with end-to-end encrypted QR code handoffs. The receiving nurse scans the code and imports the full patient schedule — tasks, meds, labs, clinical notes, and SBAR report — directly into their shift. No paper brain sheets. No unsecure texting. SBAR REPORTS Generate structured SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) reports for each patient. Include in handoff data or use for bedside shift report. HIPAA-COMPLIANT SECURITY Your patient data is protected with AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit. Biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) locks the app after inactivity. Screen capture prevention keeps PHI off screenshots. No patient data is ever stored unencrypted. END-OF-SHIFT TOOLS Review completed tasks, generate shift summaries, and hand off seamlessly. Clinada helps you close your shift with confidence. BUILT FOR NURSES, BY NURSES Whether you work med-surg, ICU, telemetry, step-down, oncology, or any acute care unit, Clinada replaces your paper brain sheet with a faster, safer, and more organized digital workflow. • Real-time shift schedule with drag-and-drop task management • Medication database with frequency scheduling • Lab and diagnostic test tracking • Vital signs and assessment logging • Drain, fluid, and IV documentation • Free-text clinical notes per patient per time slot • Encrypted QR code patient handoff • SBAR report generation • Biometric lock with inactivity timeout • Screen capture prevention • Cloud sync across devices • Dark mode optimized interface • Works offline — no Wi-Fi required on the floor Privacy Policy: https://clinada.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://clinada.com/terms Download Clinada and start your next shift organized, secure, and in control.
