Suggestions for Improvement

• Adding due dates for some tasks on the LCIM would be helpful such as dress changes

• The LCIM should have the function of a white board: daily goals and plan for the day (Make it consistent with Epic)

• There are useless and unused widgets/parts on the LCIM, which can be used in a better way with more useful widgets

• Highlight new lab values versus old lab values

• Highlight or place arrows for a little above normal values instead of having everything in red if it’s a little elevated (values that are not worrisome)

• The Is and Os should be shown 7am-to 7 pm

• Upcoming activities such as when the next x-ray or labs should be scheduled

• Personalized items for the child so the nurse on the next shift knows something about the child (i.e. favorite animal is a bunny)

• Fun activities for children

• Make it similar to the handoff tool in Epic (pull up handoff screen and do it in the patient’s room when nurses can check all of their information)

• General hospital resource information (i.e. café hours, phone numbers)

• Checklist of education that needs to be done before patient can be discharged

• creen saver or sleep mode should be added, so it is not necessary for that to be on 24/7

• Privacy: Only have initials up on the screen instead of the full name

• Effective training for nurses regarding LCIM
