Medication Alert Management
Critical medication alerts get lost in the noise of clinical communication. Nursing can't confirm what pharmacy said, pharmacy doesn't know if nursing acted, and patients go without time-sensitive medications while the coordination loop stays open.
A transplant patient is admitted over the weekend on a rejection medication that isn't on formulary. Pharmacy sends a message Monday morning: "Medication must come from home." Three days later, the patient still doesn't have it. The message was in the thread — buried under 40 others.
This isn't a routing problem. The message was sent. But no one was accountable for ensuring the patient got the medication.
What's Actually Breaking
- Messages confirm delivery, not acknowledgment — there's no way to know if the right person saw it and acted.
- No SLA exists — the task sits with no timer, no escalation, no visibility into whether it's in progress or forgotten.
- No audit trail — when something goes wrong, there's no record of who was notified or when.
