An even better thing would be if they put some punching bags in a room so that all those who are frustrated can take it all out on the punching bags. A break room with work out equipment would also suffice.

I agree that when implementing a new system it is a must that all staff involved go through a dry run a few times in order to get the kinks out. This should be the normal practice of hospitals based upon the fact that care is of the utmost importanc...
