A new graduate nurse on a med-surg/tele unit struggles to quickly access medication information and task schedules, resorting to a manual paper 'brain sheet' to supplement the EHR.
Existing EHR (Epic) is too slow to log back into for quick lookups, and medication locations (Pyxis vs. patient bin) and PRN frequencies are not readily accessible at a glance.
