Telemetry techs documenting in the EMR without clinical context causes false alerts, unnecessary tests, and confusion.

Current EMR lacks role-based documentation controls and workflow integration for telemetry techs, leading to inaccurate vital sign entries that trigger false alerts and unnecessary interventions.

Workarounds Described

nurse manually checking patient's box during med passes
using Teams messaging to inquire about unexpected documentation
relying on paper strips for telemetry review

Implied Software Gaps

Role-based documentation controls for telemetry techs
Clinical validation rules to prevent false vital sign entries
Segregation of telemetry observations from nurse-verified vital signs

App Concept

TeleDoc Filter

TeleDoc Filter is a middleware layer that intercepts telemetry tech documentation in the EMR, applying clinical validation rules and routing annotations to a separate note instead of vital signs. It prevents false EWS alerts and reduces unnecessary EKGs by ensuring only nurse-verified data triggers clinical workflows.

Key Features

Role-based permission to telemetry documentation fields
Automatic routing of tech annotations to a dedicated note section
Real-time validation rules to flag out-of-context readings
Integration with existing EMR alerts to suppress false positives

Target Users: Hospital nurses and clinical informatics teams in medium-to-large acute care hospitals with telemetry units

Revenue Model: $5 per monitored bed per month, plus implementation fee
