HealthcarePatient Communication & Language Access4HighNurse$ implied
A family member who is an approved contact cannot get timely information about a patient's medications and plan of care from nursing staff due to a perceived policy restriction, requiring unnecessary travel or waiting for doctor callback.
Existing communication processes rely on phone calls during shift changes, leading to conflicting or restrictive interpretations of privacy policies, and lack a secure, patient-authorized channel for real-time updates to family members.
