1. Camera over each pts bed on the M/S unit.

   jlog.j replied to jlog.j's topic in Med-Surg

   It won't help, it will let Admin. know who to blame and to fire when it happens. This is the cheap way to "keep pts safe", and like I've said before, admin. can say to ACHA "look we are so serious abt pt. safety we even installed these cameras".

   Exactly, and our nurses station is all open for everyone to see.

   I think its more for risk mgmt.

4. Camera over each pts bed on the M/S unit.

   Yes we do have bed alarms, but it looks much better to AHCA to have camers over the bed too.

5. Camera over each pts bed on the M/S unit.

   jlog.j posted a topic in Med-Surg

   Our hospital has had several falls recently, admin. has put a camera over each bed now with the monitor at the nurses station. This seems like an invasion of privacy to me. Does anyone work on a M/S unit like this?

6. This is the worse idea I have every heard of-not safe.

   jlog.j replied to jlog.j's topic in Safety

   Isn't that the truth, what's up with that. So many admits at change of shift. It's rediculous.

12. giving report to the next level of care

    We have to transfer the pt out to a larger hosp. about 80 miles away. Currently now, the ER will call M/S,speak to the charge nurse & tell her a little about the pt. so as to assign an appropriate room, we obtain a copy of the orders, within abo...

    We are a small hospital, we only have 1 unit-M/S to admit to and administration wants as many admissions as possible and as quickly as possible. Apparently we (m/s nurses)are not discharging and admitting fast enough. Again, I am very concerned for...

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad to know we are not the only ones having issues like this. We do not have an ICU, so not sure what we will do if we get an unstable pt. I'm having a hard time dealing with this "for profit" hospital now (we ...
