Patient Safety Management Problems(page 7 of 9)
SafeCount Pro
Pharmacy technicians are stressed and anxious when manually counting medications that cannot be machine-counted, fearing cross-contamination that could harm patients.
IV LineSafe Flush
Nurses need a reliable way to prevent medication incompatibility when using the same IV line for multiple drugs, but current practice of discarding dedicated secondary tubing is wasteful and costly.
IVCompass
IV pumps do not alert when hanging ceftriaxone with lactated Ringer's solution, requiring manual clearing of an alert that may be missed by new grads.
WanderGuard Alert
In long-term care, dementia residents wander, enter other rooms, and require constant redirection, but short staffing and lack of secure units or sitters make it impossible to provide safe care.
TriageFlow ER Optimizer
A hospital ER is being redesigned by a consultant with changes that staff consider unsafe, including reduction of triage, fewer staff, and reassigning the waiting room to hold patients pending results.
SpineSafe Roll
Nurses on a surgical unit fail to perform proper log roll and spinal precautions for a C1 fracture patient, ignoring the ED nurse's coordination and safe technique, risking patient safety.
QuickID Care
New grad nurse in long-term care struggles to identify residents with dementia who lack wristbands or identifiers, and must learn a new software system with minimal training.
CodeReady Connect
Nursing home and assisted living facility staff often fail to provide critical patient history and current assessment information to EMS during 911 emergencies, causing delays and gaps in care.
LiftAssist OR
An OR nurse suffers from back and shoulder pain due to manually positioning heavy patients without adequate staff or equipment.
SafeLift Guardian
Healthcare staff lack a safe, standardized method for moving heavy bariatric patients and lack confidence to speak up against resistant senior nurses during unsafe patient handling incidents.
SafeGuard Restraint System
Healthcare technicians need to physically restrain patients for extended periods to prevent them from removing critical medical devices, which is exhausting and prevents basic needs like drinking water.
SafeWard Sentinel
Inpatient psychiatric units lack real-time monitoring and intervention for patients entering other patients' rooms, especially overnight, leading to delayed awareness and reliance on post-incident reporting.
LineGuard IV
Nurses lack a safe, efficient method to reuse IV secondary lines between incompatible medications without risking contamination.
TurnGuard Patient Repositioning Monitor
A nurse on a neuro PCU cannot verify that patients requiring repositioning are actually being turned, especially on night shifts, because there is no monitoring system beyond self-reported charting.
ActiveCare Coach
Physical therapists struggle to transition chronic pain patients from passive manual therapy to active exercise/movement interventions.
TheraTrack Protocol
Physical therapists struggle to ensure patients follow post-operative rehabilitation protocols correctly when doing home exercise programs independently.
InfusionRate Pro
Infusion nurses cannot find a patient who tolerates the manufacturer-recommended infusion rate for IVIg, forcing them to slow down rates significantly.
FallSafe Assistant
A nurse is worried about liability and potential litigation after a patient falls in the emergency department, despite following documentation procedures and the patient doing well after the fall.
TransferGuide Pro
A COTA needs clear, evidence-based guidance on how to train a patient with a right above-knee amputation to safely transfer from wheelchair to toilet, including hand placement and technique.
SafeDischarge Checklist
Nurse missed mandatory newborn screening (TCB) due to workflow pressure and disorganized discharge process, leading to fear of disciplinary action and need to recall patient.
