An AuDHD nurse in a small surgical clinic struggles with the memory, task-switching, and pressure demands of scrub and pre-op roles, and fears burnout without accommodations or strategies.
Existing clinical tools and workflows are not designed for neurodivergent healthcare workers; they lack accommodations for slower processing, memory aids, visual cues, and low-pressure environments, forcing the nurse to rely on personal coping strategies.
Workarounds Described
- Uses personal memory tricks to remember patient answers from pre-op scripts
- Takes extra pauses to process information when switching tasks
Implied Software Gaps
- A digital pre-op checklist with voice input and automatic note-taking to capture patient answers without relying on memory
- A task-switching cue system that provides gentle prompts to reduce pause time
