Loading ...AI is still computers. The first time I saw them being used in hospitals it terrified me. They weren’t just computers for general data. It wasn’t too long after a big quake in 71 I was in the middle of and brought three hospitals down. I took some time off with child care and came back to float around till I could find a place with hours that could coordinate with child care. They like to change things. They got this bright Idea in ICU and a step down unit of it at one hospital to record report to the next shift and you can’t ask questions to a recording. Instead of charts they had computers in the desks with all the patients information including medications. Yes even back then in S Calif before it got bad there. That’s all fine as long as there’s no power out or quake. Where’s the paper charts. There was none. There was units of blood and meds to give and no back up plan. Then about 30 yrs later about 10 yrs back from then it’s everywhere but now on individual laptops. They need to print out at least a MAR and current orders to have on hand. Computers can make things easier but it’s like digital currency compared to phyzz. With just digital too many things can go wrong real fast. People shouldn’t only rely on it.
