Company profile
researched Aug 2026Clipboard Health, which markets itself as "Clipboard," operates an online marketplace and mobile app that connects healthcare workplaces with credentialed workers available to cover open shifts. Workplaces post the role, date and time they need support, and the platform automatically distributes those shifts to qualified workers in the surrounding area; the company states that shifts can be posted in advance or filled with urgent support within the hour.
The platform consolidates the staffing workflow in one place, including worker profiles and qualifications, scheduling, documentation and payment. Workers are vetted and screened before being matched. A "call-off coverage" feature automatically sources a replacement when an assigned professional cancels a shift. The company reports that over 6,500 workplaces and 1 million workers across the United States use the service, that 95% of shifts are staffed when posted a day in advance, and that 85% of shifts are filled by a professional the workplace has worked with previously.

Traction
The company reports more than 6,500 workplaces and 1 million workers in the U.S. on the platform, a 95% staffing rate for shifts posted at least a day in advance, and 85% of shifts filled by professionals the workplace has previously used.
