Nurses lack timely access to standing PRN medication orders for agitated patients, causing preventable physical harm to staff during delays.
No proactive system requires or prompts physicians to put standing agitation orders in place for patients with repeated violent incidents, forcing nurses to page and wait each time.

Workarounds Described
- Pages the doctor each time a patient becomes agitated
- Waits for pharmacy to verify each individual one-time order before administering
Implied Software Gaps
- An EHR-integrated alerting system that prompts physicians to set standing PRN orders after repeated behavioral incidents
- A workflow tool that allows nurses to request and physicians to sign standing orders asynchronously without paging
App Concept
STAT-Order Agitation Protocol
A clinical decision-support tool that automatically flags patients with repeat violent episodes and nudges physicians to enter parameter-based standing PRN orders. It integrates with EHRs to monitor incident patterns and proactively prevents delays in medicating agitated patients.
Key Features
- Automated alerts when a patient hits a threshold of violent incidents without a standing PRN order
- Standardized order templates with BARS/RASS scale parameters to reduce physician reluctance
- Real-time dashboard for charge nurses to track pending orders and escalation status
Target Users: Charge nurses and hospitalists in inpatient psychiatric and behavioral health units
Revenue Model: $15 per bed per month SaaS subscription to hospitals
