I hope it doesn’t sound like a defense. IMO this is a broken system that needlessly kills people as a matter of bureaucratic inertia.
Surgeries performed by the Ob/Gyns are housed on a specific floor. The situation was that there wasn’t a transition as the shifts changed due to understaffing, and the person doing rounds didn’t bother to read the chart.
In my surgical recovery state, the reasoning was poor situational awareness and burden on the nurses. Data was located in 4 different EMRs and they missed it.
Half my family is engaged in various medical professions. Every one of them is dissatisfied with how these systems work.
