Clinic Challenge

Incomplete shift handovers in ICU settings create gaps in patient information that can lead to missed interventions and adverse events.

  • 45% of compliance failures result from unintentional user error
  • 25,000+ helpdesk tickets per hospital annually, up to 40% related to tech navigation
  • 90% of handover procedures forgotten within a week if not reinforced

ICU handovers involve multiple EHR screens and checklists. Without real-time support, critical fields are routinely skipped under pressure.

Our Solution

Userlane ensures ICU handover documentation is complete every time by guiding staff through each required step inside the EHR.

  • Interactive Guidance walks nurses through every handover checklist field in sequence, ensuring no critical patient data is skipped during shift transitions
  • Engagement Suite validators block incomplete handover submissions and flag missing entries before the record is saved
  • Userlane Assistant answers questions about handover protocols in-app, reducing the need to leave the EHR or contact support during time-sensitive transitions

Handover completeness becomes a system-enforced standard, not a training-dependent habit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Data validators require staff to complete critical fields before handover can be finalized. Interactive Guidance organizes required information into structured sections with step-by-step prompts.

Yes. Interactive Guidance configures for different handover scenarios—ICU, step-down, specialty units. No-code authoring allows clinical teams to update templates without IT involvement.

Userlane works with browser-based EHR platforms including Epic and Oracle Health (formerly Cerner). Guides deploy without changes to your clinical systems and adapt to your specific handover workflows.

Data validators prevent advancing until critical fields are completed. Interactive Guidance highlights incomplete sections, ensuring comprehensive handover documentation at shift change.

Most organizations see measurable improvements within 30 days of content go-live. Technical setup takes 2-4 weeks. Interactive Guides and validators activate immediately once deployed.
