HealthcarePatient Communication & Language Access3MediumTriage Nurse$ implied
OB triage nurses waste time handling non-pregnancy-related acute illnesses that PCPs inappropriately redirect to OB, creating inefficient triage and patient confusion.
Existing triage systems automatically redirect pregnant patients to OB for any symptom, even when the issue is unrelated to pregnancy, due to binary pregnancy flag logic.
