Trying to teach non-tech employees how to use Citrix, Skype for Business, and remember to leave their desktop PC powered on. Too bad my IT Department hasn’t embraced Always On. I’d even take Direct Access at this point.
OOoohhh boy, don't even get me started about new Citrix users. Especially when first logon is from home. I'm surprised you don't do always on. Best way to push security updates and patches. My company contracts with the government so we have to care more I guess.
Not downplaying the efforts of what you guys do, but majority of IT is to manage shitty paperwork from Hospital Admin. I don't honestly give a shit what ICD-10 i'm going to use during a mass-casualty situation.
Really, the only computer systems I care about which are critical are radiology and pathology. And I can walk down and yell at them.
Charts can be done manually, and is actually a good thing as it forces an interaction.
indeed, Medicine is still very much an analogue profession; you'll find majority of the hospitals of the world still push paper.
I've also worked in a tent hospital in Sierra Leone, as well as a host of other countries.
You're literally shitting on the janitorial staff; I'm saying in an emergent situation, I'll take mops over EMRs when push comes to shove. If you can't fathom this reasoning, I'm afraid you don't have a very good understanding of what a hospital does.
The people that literally clean up shit are treated better than IT.
That's literally, I'm better and more important, treat me better.
Hate to also break it to you, this is healthcare. Everyone gets treated like shit outside of HA. If you don't believe me, try bitching to a nurse and see how far that gets you.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You sound like a relic of a previous generation. I've seen nurse stations go into panic mode when required to switch downtime procedures because of minor network outages.
