Forgot the Treatment Escalation Plan and #DNACPR @ianmcnicoll
And of course that’s not counting the paper and computer forms that the Physios OTs and Social Workers must fill. Each of their computer systems are independent so none of us can see the others’ = #SharedMisunderstanding @PeteGordon68 @jotalbotbowen @TimRayment @thetimes
And Pete @PeteGordon68 the software on #Trak called #WardView which is meant to enable the Ward MDT doesn’t work at all so the patient ‘journey’ is often going around in circles

As a PRHO in 1980s the pressure was lots of patients eg I saw over 20 cases in my first 24h on take. We had lightweight paperwork. Now staff feel the main pressures are paperwork and Computerworld and seeing the patients and deciding what to do is the easy bit.
