HealthcareShift Handoff & Communication4HighER Nurse$ implied
Nurses lack an efficient tool to hand off large volumes of patients with accurate, complete reports, leading to miscommunication and conflict.
EMR has patient data but no structured handoff workflow; verbal report relies on memory and is inconsistent, especially when load is high and multiple shifts are involved.
