Seems like a patient handoff/briefing is something technology could improve, with automatically generated digests, AI-flagged indications, and well-designed infographics, whereas no machine on Earth is currently capable of getting 8 hours of sleep for you.
- arkades 9y agoTechnology doesn't help because many of the issues that are "lost" in handoffs exist only in a physician's head. And since digital documentation is both (1) incredibly inconvenient and (2) a legal liability, it's likely to stay there. The issue with hand-offs comes down to trying to transfer too much information, too quickly. Fixing this is primarily a funding issue - everything else is trying to make up a fundamental resource scarcity with operational improvements.
