It has been almost a week since the implementation of the new HMIS system at SJMC and it had been a trying one. There were quite a few mishaps but in the end considering the doom and gloom we were anticipating, the week ended pretty much where we started. Nobody really knew what to expect.
Some people were impacted more than others. I had a relatively slow week apart from the weekend when I was on call. The clinic was pretty light until this morning where it ran over until after lunch.
I was on call today and the hand overs seemed to be OK. An admission earlier got her medications missing, but it was easily rectifiable. Despite the busy clinic I found the new system to be workable. The problem I had earlier was with ordering CT scans. Thos would need sorting out since I would be ordering many more of those!
Let’s see how things pan out in the second week ….
