HealthcarePatient Safety Management5CriticalNurse$ implied
A nurse at a long-term care facility is reprimanded for sending a critically hypotensive patient to the ED instead of first searching for in-house MD or manager, highlighting unsafe protocols and lack of emergency equipment.
Facility policies prioritize administrative hierarchy over patient safety, and there is no rapid-access emergency equipment, leading to delays in critical care.

Workarounds Described
- searching the building for a manager or in-house MD before calling 911
- digging through cabinets to find IV supplies located in three different places
Implied Software Gaps

- Centralized equipment inventory and location mapping for quick access to emergency supplies
App Concept
SafetyCheck: Emergency Compliance & Equipment Tracker
A mobile app for nurses in long-term care to document critical vital signs, get clear emergency escalation protocols, and locate nearest emergency equipment instantly. It replaces guesswork with a step-by-step safety checklist, reduces liability, and overrides harmful policies.
Key Features
- One-tap critical vitals alert with mandatory transport protocol
- Real-time inventory map of emergency equipment (IV kits, vein finders)
- Anonymous incident reporting to state regulators
- Policy override guidance for life-threatening situations
Target Users: Nurses and nursing managers at long-term care facilities with under 300 beds
Revenue Model: $15/mo per user with $100/mo facility subscription for admin dashboard and compliance reporting
