computerized charting in the O.R.

Published

What brand of O.R. software do you circulators use? Do you like it?

I just resigned from the O.R. after 34 yrs. (CNOR). Praise God! We were using a Windows program that was 16 pages long and it sucked! Could not pay attention to the operative field due to this major "time" monster! It had a bad habit of crashing and we often had to resort to paper charting anyway.

ebear:angryfire

Was the crappy computer charting the only reason you resigned?

Mike,

NO!!! Just the final straw! Sick of surgeons trying to run the schedule for their benefit, poor management, grueling cases, no help, and jerk docs. Ex: The last case I did was a lap chole. The pt. was prepped and draped and all the equipment was hooked up and ready. The surgeon walked in, was gowned and gloved, and went to sit on the stool across the room with his arms folded. When I asked him what was wrong he said, "Well, when somebody puts up the light handles I'll start this operation!" Never mind that he just had to walk in and cut. :angryfire Sick of azzoles! Enough already!

That is so funny! Must have just gotten out of residency and always had his underlings doing the "menial" task before the "GOD" actually performed his "miracle"! After 30 years myself I know what you mean.:lol2:

Hey, Shodobe!

No !!! This particular azzole has been a surgeon for 25+ yrs.! He has also gone thru over 7 partners in the past 15yrs. Even other docs can't stand him. I used to think to myself: "hmmm. Dr. X is here. Wonder who's running Hell?".....:lol2:
