Now, of all those steps, the only ones that need a medical qualification in
any shape or form are clerking and examining. I am an expensive resource to
be using so for such low-skill tasks as calling a patient in.
--> Could I add an item to your list...
Who in my ED decided that it is the most efficient (time, money, etc.) for
me to be doing all of these things which require no qualification?
Not impying that I think you should not, but I think your tone indicates
that YOU think you shouldn't be doing some of them. And I agree. But I think
that at various times, departments and areas of departments some of these
things should be done by you and at other times/places not. And other
departments will have different efficiencies... The point we need to get to
is when the RIGHT PERSON DECIDES who should be doing what and when!
