S1E23: On this episode: Healthcare Might Also be Stuck in the Suez Canal with Omar Lateef, MD, CEO of Rush Hospital and host Dr. Nick.

We might have a slightly better sense of beds in a facility these days with digital tracking of admissions and room readiness in an EHR. But what if your hospital is full, as we found to be the case across the country and world with overwhelming admissions linked to the pandemic. We can load balance exabytes of data effectively on the worldwide web – load balancing traffic to keep everything running smoothly but can’t tell if there is 1 bed or 20 available in the hospital next door easily. The pandemic created a more coherent and unified approach to healthcare with most facilities and clinical staff wanting to be part of greater healthcare system all pulling in the same direction. There is no returning to the prior state. Our healthcare heroes all stepped up and rose to the task of delivering care in extraordinary difficult times. We are on the cruise ship in a canal, there is not turning.

Your better pill to swallow, remove the administrative burdens, satisfy the legislative requirements with alternatives including the use of technology that returns the clinicians back to the bedside – the place they want to be and the patients want them to be.
