Today is a big day for the OneWorld Hearld blog as I am blogging live from the SWAT team meeting this morning. I was lucky enough to be invited to attend this meeting in Hector's place as he is at a super secret conference this morning. The group has several items they are working on right now including replacing defective radios, identifying locations for new signs and clocks, and working on patient education handouts. A "big" issue this morning was where the team could get some masking tape. Courtney was forward thinking enough to save us from forming a committee to solve this problem and offer to go to the store and buy some tape. I hope this was not a confidential conversation, we'll see if I get invited back. There was discussion of getting nurses more involved in the flow of the clinic. Dr. X (I was told that I could not attribute quotes for the blog to specific individuals because "what happens in SWAT stays in SWAT") noted that this would be easier once "internet machines" were in every room. I love internet machines. If you do not know what an internet machine is then you need to get with the 21st century. You may know it by it's alternative name, the magic email box.
There were three memorable quotes from this meeting, not to be attributed to anyone specifically, of course. 1. "At least we can set the bar somewhere.", 2. "If we stress the team more we can bring the team closer together.", and my favorite #3. "Sometimes you just have to throw ______ out of the room."
Have a great day!
