Nurses struggle to document and escalate missed medications from previous shifts without cluttering the EHR and risking personal liability.

Workarounds Described

• charting 'Not given previous shift' instead of a standardized documentation workflow
• charting 'MD notified' manually when escalation is needed, taking extra time and risking difficult conversations

Implied Software Gaps

• Standardized, legally-sound documentation template for missed medication doses from prior shifts
• Automated provider notification when a missed medication is identified by the oncoming nurse

MedPass Bridge

A clinical communication and documentation module that integrates with existing EHRs to streamline management of overdue medications. It provides a standardized, legally-vetted template for documenting missed doses from previous shifts, automatically notifies the responsible provider, and clears the overdue alert once acknowledged, reducing clutter and protecting the documenting nurse from liability.
