Wellington has horrendous IT systems (EDIS and MAP) that massively impair productivity and safety. They’re not even linked with Hutt and Wairarapa properly. It’s a ridiculous waste of time, not even counting the near-daily outages. Just…. Invest in health IT now. Anyone. Please.

Not Bluetorial?

Only ever use ultrasound both in ED and ICU. Distal arterial lines at the wrist are a relic of pre-ultrasound days and need to go.
Ultrasound is reliably fast, less traumatic, and allows better positioning away from joints. Also saves money and plastic with the fewer failed attempts.

I think BlueSky is waiting for the critical mass to take off.
