Emergency Medicine
How much time does your ED lose to "Where do I find that?"
Estimate the shift-level impact of scattered clinical information, repeated interruptions, and answer-hunting across doctors, nurses, residents, APPs, locums, and rotating staff.
Built for Emergency Departments where every minute, interruption, and handoff matters.
Sample shift friction score
High Friction
Estimate your ED's shift friction
Answer a few quick questions to estimate how much time your team may be losing each shift to searching, interruptions, and scattered local information.
Approximate patient volume for a typical ED shift.
Include physicians, nurses, APPs, residents, and other clinicians regularly involved in patient care.
Estimate how often each clinician needs to search for or ask about local information during a shift.
Include searching, switching systems, asking colleagues, checking outdated materials, or confirming where something lives.
Include clinicians who may be less familiar with local workflows, pathways, locations, contacts, or department-specific guidance.
Examples include intranet pages, PDFs, shared drives, binders, email threads, chat messages, EHR links, or asking another person.
Think about interruptions, repeated questions, uncertainty, delays, and avoidable rework.
Use a rough estimate. This is used to calculate monthly time impact.
Your ED Shift Friction Score
Moderate Friction
Your ED may be losing meaningful time each shift to answer-hunting, scattered information, and repeated interruptions. Improving access to trusted local knowledge could help protect clinical momentum.
Ways to reduce shift friction
Tailored to your current moderate friction score.
Centralize local clinical knowledge in one trusted place
Reduce the need to search across intranet pages, PDFs, folders, binders, and messages.
Make answers accessible on mobile
Busy ED clinicians need fast access without leaving the flow of patient care.
Support rotating and unfamiliar staff
Residents, float staff, locums, and new clinicians need a reliable place to find local answers quickly.
Reduce repeated interruptions
When trusted answers are easier to find, clinicians can spend less time asking around and more time focused on care.
