Matthew Browning, RN, MSN is founder and CEO of Targeted Instant Communications Inc. and creator of the YourNurseIsOn.com™ healthcare staff communications platform.
During his tenure, he has taken YourNurseIsOn.com™ from a concept to an award-winning, innovative software as a service platform, providing instant staff communications and open shift fulfillment to hospitals and healthcare facilities nationwide.
Browning earned a BSN from Sacred Heart University and an MSN from Yale University. While at Yale, he developed the Intelliblast™ communications system, which powers YourNurseIsOn.com™, as a direct response to his realization that thousands of nursing care hours were being wasted on the mundane task of calling replacement staff, one by one by telephone.
YourNurseIsOn.com™ helps healthcare agencies and facilities instantly contact and confirm their staff by two-way phone, text, and/or e-mail communications.
This replaces the process of calling staff one at a time for shift assignments, callout replacements, or for mass communications. You can tally responses immediately, generate reports and notify the appropriate people that a shift has been filled, a visit assigned, a message has been received, etc.
