Trust & security
Minimum necessary data
Cairns manages education workflows — not clinical charts. We intentionally avoid file uploads to reduce risk and keep sensitive data out by design.
Role-based access
PDs, preceptors, and residents only see what they should. Clear separation of responsibilities baked into every route.
Link-first documents
When a document is needed, Cairns stores a link to your org-controlled tools (SharePoint/OneDrive) instead of copying files.
FAQ
Is Cairns available today?
Yes! Cairns is in active use with beta programs. If you want early access, email us — those first programs help shape what becomes default.
Do we need to be CAATE-accredited to use it?
No. Cairns is designed for real education workflows — whether you're fully accredited, building toward it, or running an internal residency.
What should I send when requesting early access?
Program name, your role, approximate resident count, and the #1 workflow you want to clean up. That's enough to start.
Does Cairns support file attachments?
Not directly. Residents and faculty use formatted text, and when a document is truly necessary, Cairns can store a link to your organization's existing file tools.
How much does Cairns cost?
Free during beta. We're focused on building the right product with early adopters before discussing pricing. No gotchas.
