I know a lot of ER doctors. They all hate the software that they have to work with; especially the "resource control" software that stands between them and the drugs and tools they need to treat people. This seems like another tool in that direction. It seems designed to take decision making away from doctors and put it in the hands of management. What do you expect that this tool will do for the working environment of ER doctors and nurses? Or the relationship between them and their patients?

Good question. ER doctors hate when software gets in the way of their clinical decision making. We deliver recommendations to the front line managers but they decide what to act upon. One of the most frustrating things for the doctors often is when they are waiting to treat the patients but can't because there are no beds, or not enough staff or labs are not coming back. Our software anticipates those problems and recommends taking out those bottlenecks in advance. Our hope is that we will make the day of the staff in the ER much less stressful and allow them to focus on spending more time with the patients.
