A change you cannot quite name
The patient is “off.” You use the prompts to turn a feeling into two objective findings and one clear ask.
The moment · “I need to call the provider.”
Know what to say before you call.
An interactive tool that helps nurses organize what matters, build a concise SBAR, and rehearse a provider call before the pressure of the moment.

02
What happens inside.
Four steps, roughly eight minutes, done before you pick up the phone.
Step 1
Name the concern in one sentence
You write why you are calling before anything else, so the call has a subject line.
Step 2
Gather what will be asked for
Prompts for vitals, trend, last assessment, relevant orders, and what you already tried.
Step 3
Build the SBAR and the ask
The tool tightens the background and makes you state a specific recommendation.
Step 4
Rehearse the opening
You practice the first fifteen seconds out loud, plus one likely follow-up question.
Step 2 · gather
What will they ask for?
- Latest vitals + trend since 1600
- Last full assessment and any change
- Relevant orders, labs, and what you already did
Step 4 · rehearse
First fifteen seconds
- “This is Ciara, RN on 4 West, calling about room 412.”
- “I am concerned about a falling blood pressure.”
- “I would like you to come assess him.”
03 / Three ways nurses use it
0745
A call you have been putting off
Non-urgent but necessary. You prep it in four minutes between med passes so it does not get dropped.
2130
A provider who moves fast
You rehearse the opening and the recommendation so the important part is said in the first breath.
04
What this tool does not replace.
- Your employer's policy, escalation pathway, and chain of command.
- Your own clinical judgment and assessment at the bedside.
- Rapid response, code, or emergency procedures. If the patient is unstable, escalate first.
- Provider orders, supervision, or your scope of practice.
05
Questions nurses ask first.
- Is this a script I read word for word?
- No. It builds your sentences from your patient's situation. The rehearsal step exists so the words are yours before the call starts.
- How long does one prep take?
- Most nurses finish in five to eight minutes. A rushed pass through the first two steps takes about two.
- Does it work for students who have not called a provider yet?
- Yes. Students commonly use it with sample scenarios first, then with a clinical instructor before an actual call.
- What does beta mean for the price?
- Beta access is $12 while the tool is still being refined. The planned standard price is $29.
