Meet CareAlign

The CareAlign leadership team is constantly working to unlock a better system for all – clinicians, patients and healthcare organizations.

Our Story

What happens when you combine a passion for improving care, relentless focus on usability and a team that truly believes that better technology means a better system for all? You get CareAlign. Created at Penn Medicine to improve the EHR experience for clinicians by giving them a tool truly built for their workflow,  CareAlign – originally called Carelign – quickly became the cornerstone of clinical care. Knowing the platform would improve care at other health systems, Dr. Subha Airan-Javia set out on a journey to bring CareAlign to market.

Fast forward to today, our team is passionate about challenging the status quo and bringing clinicians a tool that was “designed for delight”. We start each by asking “how can we do our part to improve patient care?”, and we make every decision from there. We’re ready to prove that a platform can be easy to use and agile without compromising HIPAA compliance or security. 

 

Our Values & Beliefs

It should be easy to do the right thing

Clinicians focus should always be on delivering the highest level of patient care. Our goal is remove barriers to better patient care by providing better health tech.

Everything starts with "why"

We examine, question and challenge the status quo in order to push our industry further. There is always a better way, and we’re on a mission to continuously improve.

Passion, Grit & Hardwork

Our passion drives us forward, our grit keeps us going and our team never stops working toward our mission of improving patient care. We want our loved ones to experience the highest level of care, and we realize that every patient represents someone’s loved one. We know our hardwork can make a difference.

Subha Airan-Javia, MD

Founder, CEO

As a hospitalist with Penn Medicine, Subha recognized the daily challenges clinicians faced due to inefficient workflows and poorly designed technology. Knowing there was a better way, Subha and her team created Carelign, a digital handoff solution. After Carelign revolutionized the handoff process at Penn, Subha knew the platform could bring the same value to other institutions – which is how CareAlign came to be. Subha now spends her days working with various clinicians and healthcare administrations to bring CareAlign to the wider market. As the Founder and CEO of CareAlign, Subha brings over a decade of research on the intersection of technology and clinical workflows, as well as experience as an Associate CMIO at Penn Medicine.
