For Directors of Nursing
The DON owns clinical quality, staffing, and survey readiness for the whole building — with visibility that ends where the next shift begins. Companion gives you a continuous, facility-wide audit trail, early warnings before incidents become events, and a documentation burden light enough to help keep nurses from walking out the door.

DONs are responsible for outcomes, F-tags, and survey results across every hall and every shift — but rely on documentation written from memory, incident reports filed after the fact, and a nursing staff burning out under charting they can't keep up with. The visibility gap and the retention crisis are the same crisis.
What Companion does for your team
A complete, timestamped, nurse-signed record across every shift — so root-cause review starts from what actually happened, not from gaps and memory.
Declines and risk patterns surface before they become falls, readmissions, or events — giving your team a window to intervene instead of a report to file.
Survey-week documentation pulls from a complete, signed audit trail with observations arriving structured and pre-attributed — the record reflects the care you delivered.
Cutting 2+ hours of charting per nurse per shift is one of the most concrete things you can do about turnover — the burden, not the residents, is what drives nurses out.

FAQ
No. Companion can't deliver care or exercise clinical judgment. It extends your team's visibility between rounds and drafts documentation your nurses review and sign — the process and the people stay yours.
Very little. Companion units ship with cellular connectivity, so facility wifi and IT aren't in the critical path. A typical start is ten units on one wing for 30 days, with weekly outcome reports.
Documentation pulls from a complete, timestamped, signed audit trail, and observations arrive structured and pre-attributed — so the record reflects what actually happened, when it happened.
