The story
Clipboard Health operates as an app-based marketplace connecting healthcare workers (CNAs, LVNs, RNs, therapists, CHHAs) with short-staffed healthcare facilities for per-diem shift booking. The platform's embedded finance angle centers on instant worker payouts — workers can receive pay immediately after completing a shift for a small fee, or wait a few days for free. This earned wage access / instant pay model is a key worker retention tool embedded directly in the shift-booking flow.
