This page is not for whoever signs the order. Software arriving on your unit usually means more clicks, and you have been promised otherwise before. Here is what actually changes, including the parts you will not like.
Most of what is on these screens is read from the record. The whiteboard is written by the chart, not by you.
Rounds are signed with a badge tap. There is no password to type at a bedside on a shared screen.
Alerts follow the assignment rather than the whole floor, they carry the reason, and accepting one stops everybody else from running.
Names, precautions, diet, the team and the plan come from the record. A marker is not part of the workflow any more.
A patient asking for help to the bathroom reaches the right person, with the reason attached, so you arrive with the right hands.
Walking into the room clears the call and stamps the visit. Nobody presses a button to prove they were there.
| Thing | Our position | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Listen in the room | Audio is off until somebody deliberately speaks | Watching is not entering |
| Show a diagnosis at the door | Off by default, and your list decides | The hallway is not a private space |
| Record video | Not recorded unless you configure it | Nobody should have to wonder |
| Replace your judgment | It shows what is documented, nothing more | A screen that guesses is a screen you stop trusting |
| Add a documentation burden | Three taps per round, and it signs where you stand | If it takes longer than the round, it will not happen |
The people who change our software are nurses on units, not the people who bought it. If your hospital is evaluating, ask to be in the room.
