The Crime is always worse than the coverup
Posted by GruntDoc on 10th November 2011
“The coverup is always worse than the crime” assumes no coverups work, which is unlikely. It does increase the penalty: nobody likes a liar.
Apropos of nothing whatsoever.

The ED of the Future
Posted by GruntDoc on 10th November 2011
Let’s say, hypothetically, you could design the ED of the Future. I say hypothetically as there may be a new (like New) ED in my future. Maybe; it sounds like a heck of a challenge. Considering we’re a Trauma Center and currently see nearly 100K/year in volume, and have an admission rate that’s between 18-35%,
What would that new ED look like, from the following viewpoints :
- the patient
- the triage nurse (is there one?)
- the treating nurse
- the ED doc
- the consultant
- the hospital admissions team (billing)
- the OR
- the Tele units
- the Floor units
- ED discharge areas
- physical plant
I have a few ideas, but am frankly hamstrung by a lack of ‘out there’ imagination. Let’s hope you’re not similarly limited. Don’t feel like you need to answer all of these, but I’m interested in your ‘out of the box’ ideas…which you’ll get full (if ephemeral) credit for.
