Frequently asked questions

Does it make risk-assessment decisions?
No. RN PocketPal does not assess suicide or violence risk. Those are clinical assessments per your facility's tools and policy; the brain sheet only holds your notes.
How does PRN tracking help on a psych unit?
Scheduled and PRN psychiatric meds get cooldown timers and reassessment prompts so you can document effect and avoid stacking doses before the interval.
Is legal/hold information stored securely?
It stays on your iPhone in encrypted local storage. Use initials and minimum necessary detail; the record of truth is the chart.
Does it work for CL / consult-liaison psychiatry on a medical floor?
Yes — pair the psych variant's safety banner with the med-surg tools when your patient is boarding on a medical unit.
