Nurses in a long-term care facility are pressured by management and corporate policy to delay sending critically declining patients to the hospital, despite obvious medical need and family requests, causing risk of harm.

Workarounds Described

• calls ADON to bypass provider unavailability
• calls EMS without order despite instruction not to

Implied Software Gaps

• Anonymous incident reporting system that automatically contacts regulatory bodies
• Clinical escalation workflow that overrides corporate policy when patient safety is at risk

SafetyReport Shield

SafetyReport Shield is a secure, anonymous reporting platform for healthcare workers to document incidents of patient neglect, unsafe policies, and administrative pressure. It automatically notifies state regulators and patient advocates, and preserves a tamper-proof log. Unlike internal reporting systems, it bypasses facility management and protects whistleblowers.
