Company bio

Parity Healthcare Analytics is challenging the status quo of how hospitals currently calculate and budget for nurse staffing in perinatal units (Obstetric & NICU).

The inaugural product is Parity, a cloud-based SaaS program with multi-purpose features to address the complex nurse staffing and patient needs uniquely found in the perinatal setting. We have a mission to improve maternal health outcomes by providing the clinical frontlines with real-time and objective data to ensure staffing levels and nurse-to-patient ratios are appropriate to provide safe patient care.

Ultimately, Parity Healthcare aims to revolutionize nursing productivity in healthcare, starting in the maternal health space.
