2 Future-State Workflow Peer Review The future-state workflow for the medical-surgical unit is intriguing as it guides the emergency room, floor, and radiology department interactions between the patients and nurses. The workflow provides a clear framework for the patient processing from the arrival in the emergency room, admission, and the activities carried out in the respective sections. However, patients in the emergency room can benefit from early assessment of the patient’s vitals and initiation of the medication. Singhal et al. (2021) state that the nurse in charge is responsible for nursing care in the emergency department. In light, nursing care is the primary responsibility of the emergency room nurse. Besides, the use of EMR can also be integrated from when the patient is transferred to the floor nurse. The Slack software can capture the patient’s information, medications, and proposed workouts to embrace electronic health records in the medical-surgical unit. The swim lane provides a clear guide in interacting with patients across the emergency room, nursing floor, and radiology department. However, STAT medications can be administered in the emergency room, and the floor nurse can initiate a comprehensive patient assessment. History taking can be followed by administration of the ordered medications and follow-up with the indicated laboratory investigations. Besides, the healthcare system has various providers; hence, the section detailed providers can be specific to physicians. Overall, the swim lane is conclusive and captures the essential components of patient care and therapeutic intervention. The workflow can also depict the interaction with the physician in the emergency room. Emergency room physician is not depicted in the workflow and swim lane. Donelan et al. (2020) emphasized the coordination of the care team in emergency care. The emergency room physicians are the first line of contact with the patients in the medical-surgical unit; hence their role in the emergency room can also be integrated into the future state workflow.
