Smarter Nurse Assignments.
Every Shift.
PatientLogic automatically generates fair, acuity-balanced, and geographically optimized nurse-to-patient room assignments — saving charge nurses time, reducing nurse turnover, and improving patient care.
Manual Assignments Are Broken
Charge nurses spend valuable time every shift manually assigning patients to rooms, juggling acuity, continuity, proximity, certifications, and workload fairness — often on a whiteboard or spreadsheet, under significant time pressure.

Everything Your Floor Needs
Powerful features purpose-built for nursing unit charge nurses.
12-Phase Assignment Algorithm
Balances patient count, acuity, continuity, proximity, cap history, and training requirements simultaneously — in under 2 seconds.
Continuity First
Nurses are preferentially reassigned to their own patients from the previous shift, maintaining care continuity and reducing handoff errors.
Cap History & Fairness
Tracks every time a nurse hits their patient cap. The algorithm automatically rotates heavier loads so no nurse is capped repeatedly.
Drag & Drop Overrides
Charge nurses can override any assignment after auto-generate without losing the rest of the board. Full control always stays with the charge nurse.
Built-In Audit Trail
Every assignment stores a plain-language reason. Compare original vs. final boards, track late changes, and prove constraint adherence shift after shift.
LiveBoard
A real-time assignment board for the nurse station. Mount a tablet or TV — changes from any device appear instantly. No refresh, no reprinting.
Hard Constraints Always Honored
The algorithm enforces every constraint — no exceptions, no oversights.
How It Works
From blank board to posted assignments in under 2 minutes.
One-Time Setup
Configure your floor: room count, patient cap, span limit, charge nurse rules, and rating scale. Build your nurse roster with certifications, experience levels, and shift availability. Set it once — PatientLogic remembers everything.
Build Your Shift
Select tonight's nurses from your saved roster. Add floats and mark the charge nurse. Set room acuities, flag discharges, isolation rooms, and 1:1 patients.
Generate & Finalize
One tap. The 12-phase algorithm runs instantly and posts a fair, balanced board. Review, drag-and-drop any overrides, and finalize the shift.
Real-Time Edits When Things Change
Floors are dynamic. PatientLogic handles every mid-shift change without rebuilding the board.
Sick Call / Late Callout
Remove a nurse and instantly regenerate a balanced board with remaining staff.
New Admission
Add a new patient to an unoccupied room mid-shift. Set acuity and let the algorithm reassign.
Nurse Pulled to Another Floor
Mark a nurse as pulled. Patients are redistributed automatically and the event is logged.
4 & 8 Hour Checks
Reassess and rebalance assignments at shift checkpoints without starting over.
Drag & Drop Overrides
Manually move any patient to any nurse. All other assignments stay intact.
Pre-Shift Sick Call
Remove a nurse before the shift begins and regenerate the entire board in one tap.
