It seems to be my first 8 years as an RT saw many new things that made our job better. I'll list some examples here:
1. Microprocessor ventilators: work with patient instead of other way around
2. Microprocessor BiPAPs: easy to use, pts tolerate them, and they keep people off vents)
3. Computer charting: no longer have to hunt for charts, easy access
4.
However, in the past five years every thing added has made our job harder:
1. Order sets: RT procedures automatically ordered even so all bases are covered, increases workload
2. Protocols called order sets: increases workload
3. Medicine locked up: Inconvenient to get to medicine
4. Obamacare: Increased need for QA analyzers and order sets
5. QA analyzers: who constantly double check our charting (nit pickers, that's what I call them)
6.
Can you name any more things that have made our jobs easier or harder????
