Dr Wes alerts us to an iPhone app (there's an app for that) about heart stuff that gets him all excited. I'm just not feelin' it. Let me tell you what would light a fire in my loins. An app that offered the following:
STOP RIGHT THERE. Do not call the doctor about Mr Smith's critical lab value. When objectively reviewed in the context of the patient's current and past medical history, it is not necessary to stop what you are doing to interrupt both your work flow and the hospitalist's beauty sleep. You have been granted full immunity by Happy's hospital lawyers to table this issue until daily rounds.
Now if I could only get this integrated into the nursing workflow,
that's an iPhone application that I could get behind.
