Nurse cannot easily document patient rounds in a timely manner due to lack of required policy and absence of mobile devices for real-time charting, leading to gaps in care documentation and legal concern.

Workarounds Described

• Performs patient checks but does not chart them due to lack of dedicated area in EPIC
• Relies on memory to recall checks if legal action occurs
• Uses personal phone as mental note or timer for rounds

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app for quick rounding documentation that integrates with EPIC or works standalone
• Automated reminder system based on patient acuity and time since last check
