- show patient data to patient families during family discussions – discuss trends, understand heading in the right direction or not - pulling up my laptop during rounds to show data and trends to coworkers - currently, when doing mortality reviews of patient cases, graph data points in Epic and screenshot them and share them in meetings - device size varies by doctor and hospital – tablets, laptops, not necessarily large monitors
Trauma surgeon
- using laptop to view customizable Epic dashboard
Pain Points
Critical care nurse
Trauma surgeon
- number of clicks, scrolling through list of meds (usually listed in alphabetical order) is burdensome
End-goals
Critical care nurse
- due to pressing concern of ICUs being full, understand which patients can and can not be leaving the ICU soon - gain comprehensive understanding of patient situation from a quick look at the screen
Trauma surgeon
- understand the patient’s trend (better or worse than before?), see what has changed, understand if there’s anything in the top predictors that she can modify (e.g. adjust meds)? - gain an objective assessment of patient, especially if taking over a patient from someone - have a common language when discussing patient’s level of sickness with others – everyone on the same page - understand patient’s clinical context and status
Opportunities
Critical care nurse
- patient data still available after patient has been discharged - Vikas: envisioning a reporting feature that can be filtered/search to see prior data outside of Epic
Trauma surgeon
- feature: track user clicks and link outcomes to better understand what users do after they click on patient predictor scores? (e.g., do they change meds next?)
