Nurses in the emergency department waste time tracking down technicians to perform EKGs and help with tasks that techs are supposed to handle, causing frustration and inefficiency.

No system exists to automatically assign and alert techs to tasks like EKGs, monitor hookups, or stocking based on workload or proximity, so nurses must manually find techs or wait for them to offer help.
