Not only CPOE but you get to do the D/C instructions, too. Good Luck with those. My job easier, but your job harder.

See you midnight on October 3rd.

Wait a second… you’re telling me that I could have gotten through medical school without my Q-ray bracelet?

I suspect a grounding problem at the network interface. Especially in areas with dry sandy soils, typical crappy ground rod installations can go from near-zero ohms as designed to several thousand ohms at a whim. It might not surprise me that the neighbors are having similar problems. Rain/humidity/lawn watering can all improve the situation, temporarily.

The DSL filters do not protect the DSL: they protect the voice from the *intrusion* of DSL. The second filter is not performing magic. It’s the equivalent of a magnetic bracelet for arthritis.

EMR with CPOE on day one is way worse than starting a new job… Sorry about that.

Hope they’re able to figure out the DSL deal. CPOE, huh? Good luck with that. Our hospital is still about 5 years away from that. But, still, I’ve been on some site visits to other hospitals with physician order entry. The transition is tough, but when completed, it works pretty good.
