Nurses are the heartbeat of healthcare

symplr recognizes the invaluable role nurses play in healthcare. Their impact across the care continuum is immeasurable, and at symplr, we’re inspired daily by their extraordinary commitment and compassion.

For this reason, we remain dedicated to developing technology and solutions that empower nurses to do what they do best: care for patients and families. Their dedication fuels our mission: “Better Operations. Better Outcomes.”

What is the DAISY Foundation?

A proud DAISY Partner

DAISY models how meaningful recognition can ignite the passion and compassion that keeps the batteries of our caregivers charged so they can give the extraordinary care that merits the DAISY Award. Our partnership with the DAISY Foundation and with our many customers who are also DAISY Partners aligns us well with what is right and good in healthcare.

BJ Schaknowski

We are very proud of our longtime partnership with this special company!
