I would like to see patients micro-chipped with all their medical history. You know, like when the pacemaker's are interrogated and they wave that magical little wand over the device and POOF! all the data comes up nicely on a screen?
No more, "Mamma! Mamma! What was that little blue pill you take at night? Or, "Yes, I had a severe allergy to a medicine. It made my throat close up. What? The name...uh, I dunno".
No more, "Oh, honey, just call my doctor. He knows all my medicines."
I would like to see the nurses station roped off like the movie theater lines. Only so many doctors allowed in the nurses station at one time. We could serve popcorn for those waiting...
I would like to see a limit to how long they (docs) can stay in the nurses station. BUZZ! "Times up, doc! Oh, you are not finished? That's okay, kindly step back to the end of the line. When it is your turn again, you can finish up, k? Buh bye."
I WOULD like a crystal ball that tells me when you are rounding. This will help me immensely in planning my day, especially if you are coming in to do a bedside procedure since I have had the consent done and room set up, patient prepped for hours upon hours and still you do not show your lovely face... until shift change.
I would like a nurse satisfaction survey for management. I want to send out daily annoying color-coded emails about "getting your scores up". I want to see how you feel to be treated like a kindergartner that is changing colors for bad behavior.
In the managers/administration bathrooms, I want to put annoying Stop Sign stickers above their sinks that say, "Safe Staffing Saves Lives!"
I want to interrupt administrations lunch every 5 minutes for the duration of every single lunch they have.
