Shooooot, any way you can add how frequently the patient pushes the call light and the proportion of time spent in room because of that to patient billing. Can you also add one that times how long I spend charting all the dumb ass required charting, that would be glorious.
How much does implementation of this type of thing cost? It sounds super useful but at the same time sounds expensive upfront as well as to install.
It doesn't impact your job performance, but it does impact the health and safety of employees which employers are concerned about.
You're completely missing the point I'm making as well as misreading what I wrote. Every major health system and major health organization in the country requires the flu shot as condition of employment. Pre employment physical also requires all immunization records, tuberculosis screen, drug screen, tobacco screen, and some other things.
I literally have to get my flu shot at both hospitals I currently work at (both are part of the two largest health systems in the country) or I am removed from the schedule and face corrective action, up to and including termination if I don't get it.
They have the right to require those as terms of employment. I don't know anything about the rest of jobs and stuff because I've only ever worked healthcare, but employers can require those. If they require a drug screen, and you take a prescription medication that would.makr you test positive, they have every right to ask you about it and terms of employment. Again, if it's that big of a deal to you you have every right to refuse and not seek employment where they are asking.
I definitely don't agree with it and believe I should have the option to choose whether I want the flu vaccine every year, but I also know I chose this career and knew it would be terms of my employment. I could have gone into something else that didn't require it if it was that huge of a deal to me.
Uhh where did I say they were asking you to reveal protected health information, that we literally have laws specifically to protect those pieces of information, like HIV status or whether you've had an abortion? Especially when those pieces of information don't impact you or the job in any way shape or form. As long as they aren't discriminating against protected persons of course.
Your employer can 100% require you to get a covid swab, get the vaccine, take a drug test or any other slew of things as condition for employment. If it's such an egregious wrong for them to ask that of you then don't seem employment there. You have that right. Literally every major healthcare system and organization in this country requires you to get the flu vaccine yearly as s condition of employment, unless you have special circumstances of course.
For people who are so gung go about freedoms and choices and shit, sure is weird those freedoms and choices should only matter when it's convenient for you or something you believe in.
That sounds like the same rfid system they had for us. What's different/new about the one you're working on? I'd assume if they can differentiate between me standing outside the doorway of the patients room or being inside the door of the patients room that's the same thing as what you just described.
Your employer can require you to swab as condition of employment, just like they can require you to get vaccinated or take a drug test as condition of employment.
If they shared that info with anybody without your consent it's a violation*
Can't even share information with family members if permission to do so hasn't been obtained.
Basically they had the rfid system that was set up to recognize zones and there were four major zones; patient rooms, hallways and supply, nursing stations, and then the break room. There were a few misc other ones like conference rooms and such but I was never in those so they never showed up on my report.
The system's main function was to allow other staff to locate you if needed and to judge staffing needs but was also used to fire some people for being lazy or lying about where they were. We had a board that showed the location of each badge tracker. Sensitivity and zoning was literally set up so that if you were sitting at a computer between two rooms it would literally say "ShiftLeader Pod 23/24." If you were in a patient room it would say the same "ShiftLeader Patient Room 23."
The report gave a pie graph of percentage of total time spent in each major type of zone and then the breakdown looked like an itemized report for each day. "1900-1904 Patient Room 23" 1905-1912 Patient Room 24." Then have the total cumulative time for each major zone at the bottom.
You're a little late, those rfid tags have been around for years. Still have mine from my first job almost 10 years ago. Management was running reports quarterly and they were part of your yearly eval.
Assuming you live in the US, hospice is a service, not a place. You can literally sign up for hospice to have a visiting doctor, nurse, aide, chaplain and a whole slew of other things come to your home to provide a whole slew of services that you and your family can pick based on what is best for everyone involved.
I mean if the goal is eliminating the entire human population that would make sense. But if we're talking population control (which is the frequent conversation around here with sterilization etc) why would you eliminate a producing and critical infrastructure like healthcare..?
You get rid of the people who take care of the sick and then what? Just mass deaths in the streets? Otherwise healthy and productive children/adults dying of a ruptured appendix? Who produces? Who's left to rule?
See what I'm trying to get at? Like I said, not getting it myself and one of the main reasons is I'm low risk, everyone in my life is low risk, and I'm not taking the risks of a vaccine with such a short research cycle. I just really don't understand this whole jump right to "vaccines have literally been designed to murder you."
I'm an ICU nurse working covid, not getting the vaccine because of a few different reasons, just to preface my question.
Vaccines obviously have potential complications, but if the goal really was to kill people and reduce the population why would you start with the entirety of the medical community of the entire country..?
A lot of people aren't getting them for a multitude of different reasons. Personally, I'm young and healthy. I'm not high risk and nobody I'm frequently around is high risk. I've been working covid ICU since March. If I was gonna get it, I'd have gotten already as far as I'm concerned.
ICU nurse here. Video is grainy, but pretty sure this is what's called a vanishpoint syringe, you can literally google this for pictures. Basically this is a needle and syringe with built in safety in the base of the syringe which is spring loaded, when you push the plunger all the way down and empty the syringe it activates the spring loaded part and the needle retracts back into the syringe body.
In regards to the other stuff, video is too short to tell about all the other stuff. Supposed to swab with alcohol and wait for it to dry before injecting. Easily could have swabbed before the video started. Not all injections bleed.
Uh, as condition of employment, they can require you to be vaccinated. There's nothing illegal about that. They cannot hold you down and vaccinate you, but they don't have to continue employing you if you refuse and you don't have to get the vaccine or continue working for them if you disagree with that practice. It's no different than requiring a drug screen, or to be tobacco free, or whatever else as a condition of employment.
There is a massive difference between forcing you to be vaccinated and requiring vaccination as terms of employment.
I don't agree with requiring you to be vaccinated as condition of employment, but we live in a free country and you're more than welcome to quit and get a job somewhere that doesn't require it or even quit and start your own business that doesn't require you or your employees to be vaccinated.
