From Scheduling Chaos to Seamless Care with Mesh AI: the Journey of A Clinical Team at Grey Nuns Hospital at Covenant Health in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Grey Nuns Palliative and Continuing Healthcare Services Team—five physician teams plus a locum pool—were living the all-too-familiar script: five separate schedules, endless email threads, last-minute swaps, and the constant risk of inadequate staffing and burnout.
Who is the Grey Nuns Palliative and Continuing Healthcare Services?🥼⚕️
At Covenant Health’s Grey Nuns Community Hospital, the Palliative and Continuing Healthcare Services Team is who you call when life is fragile. They deliver palliative care for people with life-limiting conditions—specialists who manage acute and complex end-of-life symptoms, coordinate medical care alongside spiritual support, education, and family resources, and stand with patients and families through the hardest days, bringing comfort, clarity, and dignity.
The mission was simple but critical: keep every shift covered and give clinicians their time back for patients—not spreadsheets.
They partnered with Mesh AI in 2020 to make it happen.
