I've had a career in hospital IT and operations. The challenge is finding a replacement that is as reliable and accessible as a pager. The replacement communications products out there have some nice features (managing on-call scheduling, interfacing with electronic health records, etc), but it only takes a handful of outages to get everyone to switch back to pagers "just in case."
- hooverd 3y agoI'm sure Oracle nee Cerner would develop Pager Millennium if you asked nicely enough.
- pierat 3y agoWell, I was being rather absolutist when I said to destroy pager infra. It should be messages like "Code red to room xyz with patientID #####" That would remove anything really actionable. Whereas I was seeing over FLEX: full name, address, room#, child abuser status, why they're there, medicines. It was fucking stupid, like fuck no.
