Welcome to the Work.

 "Thanks for making the connection between nursing and engineering/design. I'm an industrial designer who also became an RN. I saw a lot of issues in nursing process that has design solutions. There are so many existing business tools that could help make nursing safer and better which would allow the nurse to spend more brain power focusing on critical analysis and decisions rather than tasks and scheduling. For example, if a patient has a procedure and needs to go off unit for it, the RN could see where conflicts exist with medication passes and receive alerts that they can set for themselves to ameliorate those issues. These can be automated so that the RN can then spend their energy looking at their patients and engaging with them. There's a way to create a communication plan between providers based on each patient, and allow the care team to speak to each other and that also manages to stay within HIPPA guidelines. There is a design solution to help prevent RN burnout." -Ki Charm John Kim RN and Industrial Designer
