When to stay with Mirus
Analytics is your priority
If your primary need is data analytics, benchmarking, and performance reporting across multiple facilities, Mirus is purpose-built for that.
Multi-facility comparison
You operate many facilities and need to compare performance, staffing, and costs across sites. Mirus excels at cross-facility analytics.
You have a separate rostering tool
If you already use another system for rostering and care delivery, and just need analytics on top, Mirus complements your existing stack.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. KareShift handles day-to-day operations (rostering, ADL charting, care plans) while Mirus can handle analytics and benchmarking. They serve different purposes and can complement each other if your facility needs both.
Not currently. KareShift focuses on operational compliance — care minutes tracking, AN-ACC monitoring, and SIRS reporting for your facility. Cross-facility benchmarking and financial analytics are not available. If benchmarking is critical, Mirus is the stronger choice for that specific need.
A$249/month billed annually (A$299 monthly) includes 30 beds. Above 30 beds, you pay A$7 per additional bed per month on annual billing, or A$9 monthly. Workers are unlimited — no per-user fees. You can sign up and start immediately without contacting sales.
