HealthcareClinical Management4HighICU Nurse$ implied
Nurses in busy ICU settings miss or overlook critical orders because they are jumbled with duplicates and conflicting instructions across multiple providers, with no clear prioritization or notification.
Existing EHR systems like Cerner and Epic do not effectively deconflict duplicate or conflicting orders, nor do they prioritize new or critical orders for nurses in high-stress environments.
