What is a nursing shift assignment board?

A shift assignment board records which staff member is responsible for which patients, rooms or areas during a shift. Traditionally it lives on a whiteboard or printed sheet. AssignMe turns it into a live digital board that updates on every phone the moment an assignment changes.

Is AssignMe a scheduling system?

No. Scheduling decides who works which days and shifts. AssignMe handles who covers which rooms and areas during today's shift. It complements your scheduler and EHR rather than replacing them.

Do you store patient information?

No. AssignMe holds only areas, staff names and assignments. There is no field for patient names, diagnoses or clinical detail, and the system blocks patient information from being entered.

How do staff see the board?

Staff scan a read-only QR code and instantly see the live assignments with no account or password. Links expire automatically and can be reset at any time.

How long does setup take?

Minutes. There is no hardware, nothing to install and no integration work. Pick your facility type, add staff and areas, and share the QR code.

The anatomy of a good shift assignment

Guide · Assign Smart · AssignMe

A good assignment is not just "everyone has four patients." It balances four competing forces, and experienced charge nurses work through them in a repeatable order.

Charge nurses report spending 20–45 minutes building and rebuilding assignments each shift — time taken directly from patient care and huddles.

1. Acuity before numbers

Equal patient counts are not equal workloads. A nurse with four stable patients and a nurse with four fresh post-ops are not carrying the same shift. Start by grouping the heaviest assignments, then distribute the rest around them so no single nurse absorbs two high-demand assignments at once.

2. Continuity where it counts

Keeping a nurse with the same patients across consecutive shifts reduces handoff loss and catches subtle changes earlier. Continuity is worth protecting even when it makes the geography slightly worse — but it should never override a safety concern or a nurse's own request to rotate off a difficult assignment.

3. Geography and walking distance

Scattered assignments cost real minutes every hour. Cluster rooms so each nurse works a contiguous zone. On units with long halls or split wings, geography can matter as much as acuity.

4. Skill mix, orientees and pairing

Match new staff, orientees and floats to assignments that fit their current level, and place them physically near their preceptor or a strong resource nurse. Note preceptor pairings on the board so everyone knows who to ask.

A repeatable five-minute order

List your staff and their constraints (orientee, float, restricted duty, early leave).
Mark the heaviest assignments first and spread them.
Apply continuity where you can without stacking difficulty.
Tidy the geography — swap rooms to make each zone contiguous.
Fill support and provider lanes, then publish it where staff can actually see it.

The part most units get wrong

The plan is usually fine. The distribution fails. If the assignment lives only on a whiteboard, it exists in one place, for the people standing in front of it, until someone erases it. Every change after that point is invisible to anyone who already walked away.

Why the whiteboard keeps failing your unit

Research · Assign Smart · AssignMe

Dry-erase boards are fast to write on and terrible at everything else. Here is what actually breaks, in the order it tends to bite.

A typical medical-surgical unit revises its assignment board multiple times per shift — call-outs, floats, admissions, discharges and breaks all force a rewrite.

Single point of truth, single point of failure

One board, one location. Staff who are in a room, on a break, in the med room or answering a call light cannot see the current plan. They act on whatever they memorised at 0700.

It is invisible off the unit

Supervisors, float pool, agency staff arriving mid-shift and managers covering multiple units cannot see coverage without physically walking to the board.

Rewriting introduces error

Every erase-and-rewrite is a chance to drop a room, duplicate a nurse, or lose a support assignment. Nobody notices until a call light goes unanswered.

Nothing survives the shift

Wiped clean at change of shift, so there is no record of who covered what — which matters for follow-up questions, incident review and workload discussions.

Paper sheets trade one problem for another

Printed sheets give each nurse a copy, but the moment anything changes the copies are wrong and there is no way to update them. They also frequently carry patient details, which turns a convenience into a privacy liability.

What actually fixes it

One live source everyone reads from, updated once.
In the pocket — on the phone staff already carry.
Zero-friction access for float and agency staff who have no logins.
A printable fallback for downtime, so you are never dependent on a screen.

Shift assignments in home care & private duty

Home care · Assign Smart · AssignMe

Home care is a scheduling and coverage problem stretched across a map instead of a hallway — and the failure modes are different from a hospital ward.

In home care, a missed or unclear visit assignment does not just create confusion — it can mean a client is left without care for an entire day.

Coverage is visit-based, not room-based

Instead of rooms on a floor, you are assigning caregivers to clients across a service area, with travel time between them. Coverage gaps hide easily because nobody sees the whole picture at once.

The three questions an agency asks all day

Who is covering which client today?
Which visits are uncovered right now?
Who can pick up the visit that just fell through?

Private-duty caregivers have the same problem, smaller

Independent caregivers juggling several clients need a single place to see their own week, and families need a simple way to know who is coming.

What to standardise

A shared board showing today's coverage across all clients or zones.
A clear "uncovered" state that is impossible to overlook.
Read-only visibility for staff without accounts to manage.
A printable daily list for caregivers who prefer paper in the car.

Shift handoff without the scramble

Playbook · Assign Smart · AssignMe

Most handoff pain is not caused by the handoff. It is caused by an assignment that was never clearly published before it started.

Communication failures during handoff are among the most frequently cited contributors to preventable adverse events in hospitals.

Stage the next shift before you leave

Build the oncoming assignment before report starts, not during it. Staff arriving should be able to look once and know their rooms, their support partner and their provider.

Give report against the board, not from memory

When the outgoing and incoming nurse are looking at the same current assignment, the conversation is about patients rather than about who has what.

Protect the first fifteen minutes

Publish the assignment before shift start.
Flag the changes since the last shift explicitly.
Name the resource or charge nurse for questions.
Confirm who is covering the first break rotation.

Handle the mid-shift change properly

Late admissions and call-outs are inevitable. What matters is that a change updates one place and reaches everyone — instead of being told to whoever happens to be at the desk.

Float, agency & per-diem: getting them productive fast

Staffing · Assign Smart · AssignMe

Float and agency staff arrive without your logins, your orientation or your context — and are expected to be safe within minutes.

Reliance on float, per-diem and agency staffing has grown substantially across US healthcare, making fast, low-friction onboarding a routine requirement rather than an exception.

The five-minute onboarding

Show them the board — their rooms, their support partner, their provider.
Name their resource person explicitly. "Ask Maria" beats "ask anyone."
Give geography — supplies, med room, break, emergency equipment.
Set the escalation path for a deteriorating patient.
Confirm the break plan so they are not skipped.

Do not make them create an account

Anything requiring provisioning fails for someone here for one shift. A read-only link they can open instantly is the difference between using the board and ignoring it.

Assign to the assignment, not the leftovers

Giving floats whatever is left over is common and counterproductive. Match to their stated competencies and cluster their rooms tightly.

Want this handled for you? Assign Smart turns everything above into a live board your whole team sees on any phone.

Free printable assignment sheet

Free template · Assign Smart · AssignMe

A clean, print-ready shift assignment sheet you can use today — no sign-up required.

The sheet includes header fields for unit, date, shift, charge nurse and census, then a 16-row grid with columns for area, RN, support, provider and notes. Print a stack for your downtime box or unit binder.

Keep a printed fallback even after you go digital. Downtime happens, and a paper sheet in the binder means your unit never loses the plan.

How to use it well

Fill the heaviest assignments first, then balance around them.
Write the support partner next to each nurse, not in a separate list.
Keep the notes column for coverage notes — never patient details.
Post it where staff can see it, and photograph it if your unit shares by phone.

Important: do not record patient names, diagnoses or clinical details on a shared assignment sheet. Assignment boards are staffing tools; keeping them free of patient information avoids creating a privacy exposure at the nurses’ station.

Ask us and we will send the printable PDF, or request information below and we will set your unit up with the live version.

Security Overview

Last updated: July 2026 · AssignMe LLC

AssignMe is used inside healthcare facilities, so we designed it around a simple principle: the safest patient data is the data we never collect. This document explains, in plain language, how the service is built and protected, so you can share it with your compliance, privacy or IT team.

1. No patient records — by design

AssignMe stores only workflow information: the names of your units and areas, the names and roles of your staff, and which staff member is assigned where during a shift. There are no fields for patient names, medical record numbers, diagnoses, medications, or any other clinical information.

This is enforced, not merely discouraged. Text submitted to the service is automatically screened for patterns that look like patient or clinical information, and submissions containing them are rejected with an error. Because no protected health information is collected, the service is designed to remain outside the scope of patient-data regimes such as HIPAA in the United States and comparable frameworks elsewhere, and no Business Associate Agreement is typically required. We will always tell you plainly if that ever changes.

2. Encryption

In transit: all traffic between your devices and our servers is encrypted using TLS. The service is served exclusively over HTTPS, with HTTP Strict Transport Security enabled in production.

At rest: account records and board data are encrypted using AES-256-GCM, an authenticated encryption standard that protects both confidentiality and integrity. Encryption keys are held in the server environment and are never included in application code, source control, or anything delivered to a browser.

Passwords: stored only as salted scrypt hashes. Passwords are never stored in plain text and cannot be recovered or read by us — only reset by you.

3. Authentication and sessions

Accounts are protected by password plus optional two-step verification, delivered as a one-time code to the account email address. Trusted devices can be remembered so clinical staff are not slowed down at the start of every shift.

Sessions use signed, HttpOnly cookies with the Secure and SameSite attributes set, which prevents access by page scripts and mitigates cross-site request forgery. Sessions expire after a period of inactivity and are invalidated on sign-out. Repeated failed sign-in attempts are rate limited and locked out.

4. Access control and separation

Every organization's data is isolated. A user may only read or modify boards belonging to their own organization; requests for another organization's data are rejected by the server, not merely hidden in the interface.

Roles are enforced server-side. Owners control billing, team members, and account deletion. Managers can run boards and assignments but cannot access billing or delete the account. Staff view is strictly read-only.

Staff links are read-only by design, carry an expiry, and can be revoked instantly by issuing a new link — which immediately invalidates every previously shared QR code.

5. Application hardening

The service sends a strict Content Security Policy along with X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy and cross-origin isolation headers. User-supplied text is escaped before display to prevent script injection. Requests for source files, configuration, dotfiles, or data directories are refused, and directory traversal attempts are blocked. Rate limiting protects authentication and submission endpoints, and automated sign-up abuse is filtered.

6. Backups and continuity

Encrypted backups run automatically on a rotating schedule, with optional replication to off-site, S3-compatible storage. Backups carry the same encryption as live data. The service exposes a health endpoint used for continuous uptime monitoring.

7. Logging and auditability

Sign-ins, board changes, membership changes and administrative actions are recorded in an encrypted, tamper-evident audit log. Logs are automatically scrubbed of sensitive value patterns. Administrative access to customer accounts is restricted to a named allow-list held in the server environment; that console is not served at all to anyone outside the list.

8. Data ownership, export and deletion

Your data is yours. You can export your organization's boards, staff rosters and assignments at any time from Account settings. Closing an account retains your data so it can be restored if you return, which also protects you from duplicate billing. If you require complete removal, the Permanently erase all data option deletes your account, boards, history and any retained records with no recovery. Verified erasure requests submitted through Customer Support are honoured promptly.

9. Subprocessors

We keep the vendor list deliberately short: a cloud hosting provider for the application and database, a payment processor that handles card details directly (we never see or store card numbers), and an email delivery provider used for verification codes, receipts and notifications. Each processes data only to provide its service to us.

10. Responsible disclosure

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please contact us through the Customer Support link in the footer with the details and steps to reproduce. We investigate every report, respond to the reporter, and will not pursue action against good-faith research that avoids privacy violations, service degradation, or data destruction.

11. Your responsibilities

Security is shared. Please use strong, unique passwords, enable two-step verification, remove team members promptly when they leave, reset staff links when a shared QR code should no longer work, and — most importantly — never enter patient information into the service.

Terms of Service

Effective date: July 2026 · AssignMe LLC

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of AssignMe, a live staff-assignment board provided by AssignMe LLC ("AssignMe", "we", "us"). By creating an account, requesting access, or using the service, you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and the organization you represent.

1. The service

AssignMe provides a web-based tool that lets healthcare teams record and share which staff members are assigned to which units, rooms or areas during a shift, including read-only links for staff viewing. The service is a workflow and coordination tool. It is not a medical device, not an electronic health record, not a scheduling or payroll system, and it does not provide clinical, medical, staffing-adequacy or legal advice. Clinical and staffing decisions remain entirely the responsibility of your organization and its licensed professionals.

2. Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and authorized to act for your organization. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for maintaining the confidentiality of credentials, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. Account owners are responsible for the conduct of team members they invite.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) enter patient or other protected health information into the service; (b) use the service unlawfully or in violation of professional obligations; (c) attempt to access another organization's data; (d) probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the service without written permission; (e) interfere with or overload the service; (f) reverse engineer, decompile or copy the software except as permitted by law; (g) resell or provide the service to third parties without our written agreement; or (h) use the service to build a competing product.

We may suspend access immediately where we reasonably believe these obligations have been breached or where continued use presents a security or legal risk.

4. No patient information

The service is intentionally designed to operate without patient information, and you agree not to submit it. Automated screening rejects submissions that appear to contain patient or clinical details. You are responsible for ensuring your team understands this restriction. Because we do not intend to receive protected health information, we do not act as a business associate, and no Business Associate Agreement is contemplated by these Terms.

5. Subscriptions, trials and billing

Paid plans are offered on a monthly or annual subscription per facility, at the rates shown on our website or in your written order. Free trials are provided for evaluation and require no payment card; the trial ends automatically at the stated period. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive terms until cancelled.

Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor; we do not receive or store full card details. You authorize recurring charges for the subscription you select. Fees are exclusive of taxes, which you are responsible for where applicable. Except where required by law, fees already paid are non-refundable, though you may cancel at any time to prevent future charges. You may switch between monthly and annual billing; changes are prorated by the payment processor. We may change prices with reasonable notice, effective at your next renewal.

6. Cancellation, suspension and closure

You may cancel at any time from Account settings. Access continues until the end of the paid period, after which boards become read-only or locked until a subscription is resumed. Closing your account pauses billing and retains your data so it can be restored if you return; you may instead request permanent erasure, which is irreversible. We may suspend or terminate accounts for non-payment, breach of these Terms, or where required by law.

7. Your data

You retain all rights to the information your organization enters. You grant us only the limited licence necessary to host, process, back up and display that information in order to provide the service. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. You can export your data at any time. Aggregate, de-identified statistics that cannot identify you or your organization may be used to improve the service.

8. Availability and support

We work to keep the service available continuously and monitor it around the clock, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. Maintenance, third-party outages and factors beyond our control may cause interruption. Because assignment information is operationally important, we provide printable assignment sheets so your unit can continue working during any downtime, and we recommend keeping that fallback in your workflow. Support is provided by email during business hours.

9. Intellectual property

The service, including its software, design, and branding, is owned by AssignMe LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service during your subscription. Feedback you provide may be used to improve the service without obligation to you.

10. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will meet every requirement or be error-free. You are responsible for verifying that assignments are correct and that your unit is appropriately staffed.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AssignMe LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data, arising out of or relating to the service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AssignMe LLC from claims arising out of your misuse of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your submission of information you were not permitted to submit.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the service evolves. Material changes will be communicated by email or an in-service notice before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there, except where mandatory local consumer law provides otherwise.

15. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent through the Customer Support link in the footer of our website.

Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 2026 · AssignMe LLC

This policy explains what information AssignMe LLC ("AssignMe", "we") collects, why we collect it, how we protect it, and the choices you have. We have deliberately built the service to collect as little as possible — and, by design, no patient information at all.

1. Information we collect

Account information. Your name, work email address, role, organization name, facility type, and a hashed password. If you request information through our website, we also receive what you submit in that form, including an optional phone number and message.

Board information. The units, rooms and areas you create, the names and roles of staff on your roster, and which staff member is assigned where during a shift, along with shift notes your team writes.

Technical and security information. Sign-in events, IP address, browser and device type, and audit records of changes made in your account. These are used to keep the service secure and to troubleshoot problems.

Billing information. Subscription status, plan, and billing history. Card details are collected and stored by our payment processor — we never see or store full card numbers.

Usage information. Aggregate, first-party counts such as page views and feature usage, used to understand what to improve.

What we do NOT collect. No patient names, medical record numbers, diagnoses, treatments, medications or any other clinical information. The service has no fields for it and actively rejects submissions that appear to contain it.

2. How we use information

To provide and operate the service; to authenticate you and send two-step verification codes; to process subscriptions and send receipts; to respond to support and information requests; to send essential service notices such as trial expiry or payment failure; to detect, investigate and prevent fraud, abuse and security incidents; and to meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use your data for third-party advertising.

3. Legal bases (where applicable)

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR or similar law applies, we rely on: performance of a contract (providing the service you signed up for), legitimate interests (securing the service, preventing abuse, improving the product), consent (optional communications, where required), and legal obligation (records we must keep).

4. Marketing and advertising technologies

Our public marketing pages use measurement tags from advertising platforms to understand which campaigns bring people to us. These operate only on our public website — they are deliberately not loaded inside the assignment tool or the administrative console, so your board activity is never shared with advertising platforms. You can block these with standard browser or extension controls without affecting your ability to use the service.

5. Cookies and local storage

We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to protect against cross-site request forgery. We also store simple preferences (such as your light/dark theme and last-opened board) locally in your browser; these never leave your device. See our Cookies notice for detail.

6. How we share information

We share data only with the processors required to run the service: our cloud hosting provider; our payment processor (which handles card details directly); and our email delivery provider, used for verification codes, receipts and notifications. Each is contractually limited to processing data solely to provide its service to us. We may disclose information if required by law, to enforce our Terms, or to protect the rights and safety of users. If we are ever involved in a merger or acquisition, we will give notice before your information becomes subject to a different policy.

7. International transfers

We operate from the United States and our providers may process data there. Where information is transferred from other regions, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, as required by applicable law.

8. Security

Account and board data are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and in transit with TLS. Passwords are stored as salted scrypt hashes and cannot be recovered in plain text. Sign-ins can be protected with emailed one-time codes, sessions use signed HttpOnly cookies, access is separated by organization and role, and administrative access is restricted to a named allow-list. Encrypted backups run on a rotating schedule. See our Security Overview for the full description.

9. Retention and deletion

We retain account and board data while your account is active. When a subscription lapses, or when you close your account, your data is retained so that returning with the same email restores your boards and subscription status — this prevents lost work and duplicate charges. If you prefer complete removal, choose Permanently erase all data in Account settings, or request it through Customer Support: this deletes your account, boards, history and any retained records with no recovery. We honour verified erasure requests promptly, except minimal records we must keep by law, such as payment records. You may export your data at any time.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, to receive a portable copy, and to withdraw consent. Residents of California and similar jurisdictions have the right to know what is collected, to request deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights — note that we do not sell personal information. To exercise any right, contact us through the Customer Support link; we may need to verify your identity, and we respond within the timeframe required by law.

11. Children

The service is intended for use by healthcare professionals in a workplace setting and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

12. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy as the service evolves and will note the effective date above. Material changes will be communicated by email or an in-service notice before they take effect.

13. Contact

For privacy questions or requests, use the Customer Support link in the footer of our website. We are AssignMe LLC, and we respond to every privacy request we receive.

Cookie Policy

Effective date: July 12, 2026

AssignMe uses a small number of first-party cookies and similar storage, all strictly necessary to operate the Service. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies, and we do not sell data collected through cookies.

Cookies we set

Session cookies - keep you signed in to your account and your board after you authenticate. They are signed, HttpOnly, and expire automatically.

Trusted device cookie - if you choose "Trust this device for 30 days" at sign-in, this cookie lets you skip the emailed verification code on that browser for 30 days.

Security cookies - short-lived values used during sign-in flows (for example completing a Google or Apple sign-in securely).

Local storage

We store small preferences in your browser, such as your light/dark theme choice and your last-opened board, so the site remembers them between visits. These never leave your device.

Managing cookies

Because every cookie we set is required for sign-in and security, there is no consent banner to configure. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but the signed-in parts of the Service will not function without them.
