An ICU nurse transitioning to a long-term care facility struggles to complete medication passes for 28 residents within an 8-hour shift, causing her to skip breaks and charting time.
Existing medication administration workflows and training materials assume either acute care (few patients, complex meds) or experienced LTC nurses, leaving transitioning nurses without efficient, facility-specific strategies to handle high patient volumes.
Workarounds Described
- Limits interruptions during med pass
- Skips eating to save time
- Sits for only 20 minutes to do required charting
Implied Software Gaps
- A mobile app that provides a real-time, optimized medication administration route and timing alerts to keep nurses on pace
- Automated charting shortcuts or voice-assisted documentation to reduce time spent on EHR
- A facility-specific onboarding module that teaches efficient med pass workflows for new LTC nurses
