"Gladys Friday" hopes that new & improved electronic health records will prevent "any & all typed" mistakes as listed below that are reportedly found to be in actual patient charts:
- Patient was alert and unresponsive
- The lab test indicated abnormal lover function
- The patient has a rash all over his truck
- I saw your patient today who is still under my car for treatment
We must remember that the same human beings that were trained as transcriptionists who TYPED medical records are now joined by those that haven't been trained........hmmmmm, just something to think about.
"Gladys" says.........."Say what you mean, mean what you say, just don't say it mean!!" which also goes for typing ~ so remember to: "Think before you blink & look quick before you click"
I'm "Gladys Friday" ~ hope you are too. Thanks for the emails from those of you that look forward to a little bit of humor on Fridays. Have a great weekend everyone ~
Keeping in touch ~ denisepricethomas@gmail.com
