The following are the priorities in most hospitals:
- Charting
- Doing EKGs in ER whether they're needed or not
- Doing order set EKGs on the floor
- Donig STAT EKGs so the doctor can go home (or so patient can go to surgery)
- Making patient happy so hospital gets a good review
- Doing scheduled treatments on time and as ordered (not necessarily when needed)
- Taking care of the patients who actually need your services
Here's how I prioritize therapies
- Respiratory and cardiopulmonary arrest
- Patient doesn't look right
- Shortness of breath (treatment) and chest pain (EKG)
- Making patient happy
- Doing non emergent, non chest pain EKGs
- Doing STAT orders so doctor can go home or patient can go to surgery
- Doing scheduled therapies (Q4, Q6)
- Doing QID and TID and BID therapies
- Charting
