About Nightingale Apps
Nightingale Apps’ vision is a world where every person has the ability to access the information needed for person centered care either as a caregiver or a patient in an efficient workflow oriented way.
Nightingale Apps’ mission is to improve care quality through the use of workflow specific digital tools designed for nurses and healthcare professionals to know their patients and patients to know their care.
Our Values
Workflow Integration: We fully Appreciate the need to design healthcare information systems that support process oriented workflows for the end user.
Knowing the Patient: A marker of high quality nursing and healthcare professional care is knowing one’s patient. Knowing the patient involves knowing individualized clinical and personal information.
Knowing My Care: Every person has a right to be knowledgeable about one’s data and information used for care. A person who needs health care is part of the health care team.
Human-Led Technology: Technology is a tool that can be used to support humans with data, information, knowledge and wisdom. We aim to create and deliver technology solutions that support the human information needs for healthcare delivery.
Tiffany Kelley Ph.D. MBA RN NI-BC FNAP, Founder & CEO
Dr. Tiffany Kelley identified the need to start Nightingale Apps™ and create the initial product “Know My Patient®” while conducting her own research aimed at understanding how nurses use information to care for patients. She saw the current limitations within hospital settings to provide nurses with information at any location, especially while on-the-go. Kelley saw the potential for synergy between mobile devices and software applications to support nurses in knowing their patients within the context of their naturally occurring workflows.
Tiffany Kelley PhD MBA RN NI-BC FNAP is a visionary expert, ambitiously pioneering nursing informatics and healthcare innovation forward through intra- and inter-disciplinary practice, research, teaching, and scholarship. Dr. Kelley is the first professor of her kind to lead innovation integration into nursing core curriculum while also owning and operating two entrepreneurial informatics-based business ventures. She spent 20 of her current 24 nursing years aiming for higher quality care through healthcare technologies. Dr. Kelley’s relentless vision for breaking the status quo in nursing led to her pursuit of a professional, academic, and entrepreneurial trajectory in nursing informatics, a specialty nursing field, that integrates multiple sciences to guide the practice. Her PhD prepared her to become entrepreneurial and invent cutting edge technologies, form businesses, and create a cutting-edge academic intra and inter-disciplinary healthcare innovation strategic vision with national recognition. Dr. Kelley defies the perception that one must choose to be in academics or industry.
