Yes, that’s what I trained for too

I weep watching our Junior Doctors wrangling with dreadful disconnected paper & computer IT which gobbles up their working time & undermines their Clinical Reasoning thus putting Diagnosis & Patient Management at risk
At a ‘Winter Pressures’ meeting on Friday I said we could make our already good 4hr performance an hour better if we had Usable IT and cut out the quintuplication of information into multiple different bad paper & computer IT systems @acutemedicine @PeteGordon68 @nhshBoyd
I type Discharge Summaries using the horrible #NHSHighland #IDL software but it has to be something really really important to persuade me to use Hospital version of #SCIGateway for inter hospital referrals - retyping name address GP into badly designed IT. Intensely frustrating
The Emergency Department Information System #EDIS Discharge Note is so Unusable that our Juniors save all the A&E notes & type them after End of Shift - then they get sent out by Royal Mail so GP left in the dark for days @RuralJuniorDoc 😢😢😢
