By the year 2010 all information gathered in a hospital (ECGs, Vitals, Xrays, etc.) is supposed to be online... translation... say goodbye to paper charting! I have been working at this hospital developing curricula that will be implemented for education.This "online medical record system" process started about 2 years ago and now the hospital is just about ready to launch the "Go Live" date... the only problem is... the program is still not built... completely... which leads me to the next thing that makes you go "what in the world?"
Last week we started teaching the masses... in the next month and a half we will be educating more than 3,000 employees on how to use this program. Lets just say it has been pretty interesting working in a computer system that you truly "just never know what you are gonna get!" I have learned the joy of thinking on the fly and pulling scenarios out of the air as if "it was planned all along! " I thought I had to be on my toes with my kiddos in Slovakia with their flying school desks... I've got the medical profession now baby! Oh I love adventure!
Mom update: She received more platelets, potassium, and magnesium today in a transfusion. She will return to the doctors tomorrow.

Okay, I just left a comment on your photo blog, but this looks more regularly updated. I would like your email address if I could get it so that I can pass on an invite to ESI teachers currently living in the NW about going to a Mariner's game together. Interested? Please send me a quick message at dancerham@msn.com
