What is Apricot?Apricot is on a mission to revolutionize the home health industry by tackling one of the biggest challenges faced by nurses: excessive paperwork. Currently, home health nurses spend more than half of their time completing documentation, taking them away from their true passion - providing exceptional patient care. This administrative burden not only contributes to nurse burnout and frustration but also ultimately impacts the quality of care patients receive.At Apricot, we believe that nurses are the unsung heroes of healthcare, and they deserve to be treated as such. Our goal is to empower nurses by freeing them from the shackles of paperwork, allowing them to focus on what they became nurses to do: take care of patients.By developing innovative solutions that streamline documentation processes, Apricot aims to significantly decrease the time nurses spend on paperwork. This not only improves job satisfaction and reduces burnout but also enables a single nurse to see more patients in the same amount of time. As a result, home health operators can increase the revenue each nurse generates, creating opportunities to pay nurses more and invest in their well-being.Role Overview:We are seeking a talented and passionate Senior Product Designer to join our mission-driven team.
