Real question: how does a hospital system using a leading EHR not know where in the facility a patient is? Father brought in via ambulance at 215pm.....and when my mother called a few hours later for an update on his status they had no idea where he was. She played “transfer me to Dept X bingo” (ED, med/surg, OR, PACU), til she found a nurse who knew where he was. How does this happen?

Could have world class software but if they don’t have effective people processes in place it’s useless. With COVID a lot of processes are rapidly changing and they system might not have caught up.

Some reasons I can quickly think of: the patient is in transition from one area/unit to another, is in transition or actually off unit for a test/procedure, patient is in the ED/ or in OBS, patient is not yet admitted in the system, room has not been assigned/completed, EMR is down (there are scheduled downtimes)

Why do you assume that a healthcare system would share private information about a patient to a public query?

likefunny

The hospital operator would not have access to the EHR. Also, if he was in the ED/unit and not in room, he could have been in transit to get testing and Epic (if that’s the one you have) shows that he’ll be in transit or away for a test. Was he admitted (and to the floor) when your mom called or was he still in the ED?

patient being off-unit for a procedure would be my first guess, because where most people in the system will look will tell them the unit they’re bedded. but they’re not bedded- they’re in a procedure.

Also depends on what department your mom called and who answered the phone. It’s he wasn’t admitted yet and was in the ER or in transit for a procedure/testing it would be difficult to know.

I’m sending resumes out far and wide, ideally I’d be in a new role ASAP. I’m already starting to get requests for phone screenings so formal interviews will probably be on the way.

I feel like requesting paternity leave or letting them know a baby is coming will make hiring me more difficult. How do I approach this, and when do I do it?

My sibling is currently going through opioid withdrawal and my family and I would like her to go to detox.

She would like to detox at home instead, but if she is going to go to rehab, I she needs to spend at least some time in detox.

Should we let her detox at home or is this just asking for trouble? Can provide more details in the comments, but there is a character limit
