HealthcareCommunication & Collaboration4HighNurse$ implied
A nurse faces a physician who refuses communication unless a charge nurse is tagged, leading to delayed care for a hypertensive patient with an IV removed and SVT, causing unsafe conditions.
Existing communication methods (direct messaging, charge nurse as intermediary) are insufficient to ensure timely physician response, leading to critical delays in patient care.
