We are hospital people.
When our Performance Improvement project at Emory University Hospital worked better than anyone expected, we made it a company: 1Unit.
We are a global network of nurses, doctors, and healthcare engineers. We develop tools and best practices that work on our units, and we bring it to yours.
We're Frontline Teamwork Experts.
We’re dedicated to improving the experience of giving and receiving care on hospital units. We believe care is much better when hospital professionals know how great interdisciplinary teamwork looks and sounds – and how it feels.
