Family medicine residents lack the clinical knowledge and confidence to manage high-acuity inpatient cases, leading to delayed or inadequate care.

Existing hospital systems rely on hierarchical paging (resident → attending) which causes dangerous delays; no real-time clinical decision support for residents in unfamiliar scenarios.

Implied Software Gaps

A clinical decision support tool that provides immediate, evidence-based recommendations for managing high-acuity conditions in unfamiliar patients, with built-in escalation pathways to prevent delays.

App Concept

AcuityAssist

A clinical decision support platform for hospital residents managing unfamiliar high-acuity patients. It provides evidence-based protocols, escalation triggers, and instant guidance—reducing dangerous delays and easing RN burden.

Key Features

Real-time vital sign alerts suggesting evidence-based interventions
Step-by-step clinical decision trees for common high-acuity scenarios
Direct secure messaging to attending for rapid escalation
Integration with EHR to pull patient history and medication list

Target Users: Residents and hospitalists in med-surg floors at teaching hospitals, especially those covering patients from lower-acuity settings.

Revenue Model: $50/mo per resident subscription, hospital-wide license at $15,000/year per floor
