Patient Safety Management Problems(page 7 of 9)
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.
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.
VesselID Coach
A healthcare worker needs a reliable, systematic method to differentiate veins from arteries under ultrasound during peripheral vascular cannulation.
ProNeedle Table Tilt
Dry needling posterior neck is difficult without a high-low table or face hole, causing patient neck extension and suboptimal positioning.
FallSafe Tracker
Nurses waste significant time on paperwork for a repeatedly falling patient who is alert but non-compliant with safety instructions.
NeoO2 Guide
NICU nurses are unclear about whether oxygen from the wall is 100% FiO2 and whether transitioning chronic lung patients from high-flow nasal cannula to low-flow off the wall is appropriate.
MoveFirst Patient Education & Engagement
Patients refuse to try exercise and demand manual therapy, making it difficult to treat root causes.
ColonizationCare Protocol
Hospitals lack a clear protocol for managing C. diff colonization (PCR positive, toxin negative), leading to unnecessary isolation and confusion over testing.
CareConnect ER
Emergency department nurses need a reliable method to contact family for unconscious patients who have no emergency contact listed in their chart.
PauseGuard Alert
Clinician is uncomfortable and frustrated by a protocol that sets a dangerously high threshold (5 seconds) for notifying a provider about cardiac pauses, forcing them to repeatedly escalate despite feeling the threshold is unsafe.
LeadSense Telemetry Filter
Night-shift nurse on a step-down unit is forced to wake patients hourly to reattach leads that keep falling off, even when the rhythm remains clearly visible.
DryGrip OR
A nurse with hyperhidrosis worries that excessive hand sweating will interfere with sterile glove donning in the OR, compromising sterility.
TheraCoach Remote
Therapists are concerned that a new 'quiet knee' protocol delaying outpatient PT until 4 weeks post-op will lead to poor patient adherence to home exercise programs and development of abnormal gait mechanics.
HearClear ED
A nurse with hearing loss is unsure if the chaotic, high-noise environment of the Emergency Department is a feasible career move given their hearing impairment, and seeks input on sound levels and hearing challenges.
PediSedate Monitor
Nurses need a reliable, validated tool to monitor sedation levels in infants on paralytics.
VeinGuard Pro
Pediatric nurses struggle with J-tip (needle-free injection device) sometimes blowing veins before IV insertion, especially in critical care situations where immediate vascular access is needed.
