Nurse Matrix Systems Inc. and AAN Pilot Participation Opportunity:

NurseMatrix© - Independent Nurse Pilot

Nurse Matrix Systems Inc. is partnering with the Alberta Association of Nurses to bring a unique pilot opportunity to 100 AAN members. As part of Nurse Matrix Systems Inc.'s research and development process, we are seeking feedback from Alberta nurses to better understand how the NurseMatrix© platform works in real-world nursing practice contexts, including ease of use and clarity of features, as we work towards broader implementation.

Who Can Participate?

Participation is open to nurses who have an active Alberta Association of Nurses (AAN) membership as well as an active practice permit with an Alberta nursing regulator in one of the following categories:

  • Nurse Practitioner (NP)
  • Registered Nurse (RN)
  • Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN)
  • Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Applications will be reviewed in order of submission and will be accepted with a goal of reaching as close to even distribution across designations as possible, with a portion of the seats for each designation reserved for internationally educated nurses (IENs).

Why Your Feedback Matters

  • Nurses are increasingly expected to independently track and demonstrate ongoing competence and continuing learning within their scope of practice. This pilot will help ensure that NurseMatrix© reflects the needs of nurses, with reasonable workflows, and uses the language of professional nurses to help them capture their unique role-specific skill development, overall skill sets, and professional goals. Your input will help us determine whether NurseMatrix© is practical and relevant for nurses across designations and will directly inform product refinement and future development decisions.
