New graduate LVN struggling to organize and prioritize medication passes in a skilled nursing facility across varying patient assignments, leading to late medication administration and overwhelming stress.
Existing medication administration records (MAR) and training do not provide dynamic prioritization or workflow guidance for nurses new to large or unfamiliar patient assignments, leading to inefficiency and risk of late medication passes.
Workarounds Described
- Trying to follow exact medication times on the MAR instead of grouping within safe windows
- Manually figuring out which resident to see first and organizing med pass without a system
Implied Software Gaps
- Dynamic med pass planning tool that suggests safe grouping of medications within time windows
- Route optimization feature to sequence patient visits efficiently based on tasks and location
MedPass Navigator
A mobile app that dynamically organizes and prioritizes medication passes for nurses in skilled nursing facilities. It uses real-time MAR data to create an optimized route and schedule based on medication timing windows, patient acuity, and required interventions like blood glucose checks or BP monitoring. Nurses can see at a glance where to go next, reducing backtracking and ensuring timely administration.
- Real-time integration with MAR systems to pull medication times and patient data
- Smart prioritization algorithm that flags high-priority tasks (e.g., insulin, BP meds) within safe time windows
- Room-by-room route optimization to minimize walking and backtracking
- Visual dashboard showing current progress, overdue meds, and upcoming time-sensitive tasks
