BEDSIDE FLOW
PROJECT PORTFOLIO
Golda Evitta Zumpf
PROJECT DESIGNER
WEBSITE
This portfolio holds concepts, prototypes, and systems shaped by lived bedside experience and refined through intentional UI and UX designs.
These are nurse - led projects built for real bedside realities, operational tools that elevate nurses from
task-doers to foreground leaders in patient care.
GET TO KNOW THE DESIGNER/ FOUNDER
I am a registered nurse with a Master's degree in Nursing Service Administration who has always been drawn to design and system thinking.
I designed the UI/UX, built interactive prototypes, and mapped clinical workflows from the ground up to ensure software reflects real bedside practice.
As these ideas evolved, I have engaged with backend developers to ensure every feature is technically sound, scalable, and feasible.
Working with backend developers on the more technical aspects has allowed my ideas to move beyond concepts into tools that will truly work in real healthcare environments.
BUILT FROM BEDSIDE EXPERIENCE.
MY WORK
CODE BLUE HERO
CHARGE NURSE HERO
Both are grounded in the same Core Philosophy.
Clean. Safe. Precise. Decision Supportive.
Unlike static ACLS apps or reference cards, Code Blue Hero runs the code with the team. Timers are adaptive and only trigger when action is clinically required. The system guides next best actions in real time, synchronizes the entire team on one shared screen, and automatically logs events. It mirrors AHA algorithms while removing cognitive overload during high-stress moments.
By offloading time tracking, prompts and event capture, clinicians stay focused on patient care, not clocks or memory.
CODE BLUE HERO
WHAT SETS US APART
is a clinician-designed platform that guides teams through high stakes resuscitation with real-time protocol-aware intelligence. It features provisional patent pending, event-driven timers that adapt to clinical events, setting it apart from existing static timers on the market. The system automatically aligns with ACLS flow, so team stays on track without mental math.
CODE BLUE HERO
Key differentiators include Next-Step Clinical Cues. Action prompts guide clinicians to the next recommended step, reducing reliance on memory or looking up algorithms during critical moments.
Additional capabilities include a Late to Code Wizard, Automatic Event Logging and post-code AI assisted analysis.
All delivered in a single, clean, stress-optimized interface built for real bedside workflow.

VISION
Nurses make up approximately 30 percent of the total workforce in U.S. hospitals (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2019).
If nearly one third of the hospital workforce is responsible for sustaining moment to moment patient safety, then nurses deserve purpose built operational software designed by and for bedside reality.
Tools that orchestrate team support, enhance situational awareness, and protect cognitive bandwidth. They are safety infrastructure.
BEDSIDE FLOW:
CHARGE NURSE HERO
PROJECT VISION AND RATIONALE
PROTOTYPE BY: GOLDA ZUMPF
At a functional level, the software allows charge nurses to create staff assignments and print them easily.
It consolidates the many forms required throughout a shift into a single searchable hub, so nurses can quickly find and print what they need.
These are outputs from a mock software prototype I've been working on.
Currently, Nurses are opening Excel, Word or Pen and Paper.
While eliminating pen and paper workflows is valuable, that is not where the true impact of this system lies.

THE REAL VALUE OF BEDSIDE FLOW : CHARGE NURSE HERO
is its deliberate focus on addressing bedside burnout.
From my own experience, burnout is often misunderstood. When a shift is difficult, there is an unspoken expectation that nurses will rely on heroics. Too often, whether support arrives depends on the goodwill and personality of charge nurses, nurse managers, and teammates. This informal teamwork is used to survive the day, rather than a reliable system.
Help is assumed rather than structured.
Bedside Flow asks a different question.
What if we give support structure instead of relying on heroics ?

VISION
This project is grounded in the belief that staffing challenges are not always the root problem.
Often, the issue is a failure of optimization, a breakdown in operational orchestration at the unit and system level, and a lack of tools that help leaders make better micro-decisions under pressure.
I dream for this software to be realized. If the future brings deeper nurse shortages, at the very least, nurses will not have to suffer amidst the intersection of system failures, poor orchestration, and preventable overload.
This is not just an Advocate problem. It is a nursing problem across the country.
I envision a future where nurses are supported by systems that acknowledge the realities of bedside care, and actively work to sustain the wellbeing of the workforce that holds our hospitals together.
