- 2. 8/13/2010 21:08 Vaticuss: #RNChat Try--curious to hear your target demographic and what product lines you're developing. 8/13/2010 21:09 Vaticuss: #RNChat Trey, rather. Not try. Like I said, newbie. 8/13/2010 21:10 VoalteTrey: T1 #RNChat Anyone still using pagers at work??? 8/13/2010 21:11 DebErupts: Good bedside communication begins with soft skills like respect, courtesy, listening and anticipating patientsʼ needs. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:11 rnchat: @DebErupts Good evening! Good to see you here! #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:12 Vaticuss: #RNChat @deberupts Hear hear! And didn't pagers roam the earth in the pleistocene age??? 8/13/2010 21:13 DebErupts: Nursing leaders need to be good role models for what good bedside communication looks like. We don't always learn this in school. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:13 DebErupts: What's a pager? #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:14 DebErupts: Love the boozers infiltrating the #RNChat LOL! 8/13/2010 21:15 VoalteTrey: RT @dorameulman: @VoalteTrey #RNChat I carry the code and RRT pagers plus an ascom phone. We give bedside reports. 8/13/2010 21:16 Vaticuss: #RNChat T1: hehe, "what's a pager?" They had a singular use, but broad appeal. As a manager I can vouch that they do get lost frequently. 8/13/2010 21:16 Vaticuss: #RNChat T1: so when they are lost you don't have to worry about lost data or sensitive info, and they were fairly cheap to replace. 8/13/2010 21:17 DebErupts: Simple rules to good communication like, eliminating medical jargon. Make sure patients understand what theyʼre being told. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:17 VoalteOscar: RT @MarkHarmel: RT @HealthIsSocial: Hospitals Can Block Facebook But Not the 21st Century #hcsm http://bit.ly/9A8X3F #rnchat 8/13/2010 21:18 VoalteTrey: T1 @dorameulman Our goal as a comapny is to replace your 3 devices (Ascom, pager, pager) with an iPhone App for nurse communication #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:18
- 3. dorameulman: @Vaticuss I regularly take a phone or pager home haha #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:18 Vaticuss: #RNChat T1: @deberupts What pitfalls are you noticing? Has technology hindered that "presence" with computers in rooms? 8/13/2010 21:19 rnchat: @dorameulman Some of your tweets are coming thru as #3RNchat :) Add #rnchat and we'll see ya. Web's tough to use sometimes ;) 8/13/2010 21:20 NursesNightOut: RT @rnchat: @NursesNightOut Scotch ;-) #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:20 NursesNightOut: RT @SmoothRN: Well I really love scotch. RT @NursesNightOut: So, what's your favorite drink. ;-). #RNchat #NursesNightOut 8/13/2010 21:20 NursesNightOut: RT @dorameulman: @NursesNightOut Red wine and occ. Guinness :) #NursesNightOut #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:20 Vaticuss: #RNChat @dorameulman T1: See! Perfect example. 8/13/2010 21:21 dorameulman: @VoalteTrey sounds good because the phones suck #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:21 DebErupts: I think sometimes nurses forget that the patient is in the room. Looking at computer while talking to patient. Ugh! #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:22 DebErupts: @NursesNightOut Like Red Wine, occasional shot of Tequila. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:23 VoalteOscar: RT @DebErupts: I think sometimes nurses forget that the patient is in the room. Looking at computer while talking to patient. Ugh! #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:23 Vaticuss: #RNChat @Deberupts T1: With students I see that a lot. So intent on the telemetry, the IV pumps, the scanners/computers. 8/13/2010 21:24 rnchat: @DebErupts Very good point - systems will need to be designed so it's more important (iPad style may help in that regard) #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:24 DebErupts: I can't wait to see IPads at the bedside. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:25 Vaticuss: #RNChat T1: @voaltetrey So are you talking about language translation, visual comms? What apps can we expect? 8/13/2010 21:26 VoalteTrey: RT @DebErupts: I can't wait to see IPads at the bedside. #RNChat - YES!!!! 8/13/2010 21:27
- 4. Vaticuss: #RNChat I've often wanted to correct them. It's eye contact, not iContact. 8/13/2010 21:27 NursesNightOut: RT @DebErupts: @NursesNightOut Like Red Wine, occasional shot of Tequila. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:29 philbaumann: @Hereticagain Did you enter the hashtag #RNchat at the top of tweetchat? 8/13/2010 21:29 VoalteTrey: T1 - #RNchat @Vaticuss We are focusing on communication right now (alarms, calls, etc) - but we think iPhone's can help with much more! 8/13/2010 21:30 NursesNightOut: RT @DebErupts: Love the boozers infiltrating the #RNChat LOL! 8/13/2010 21:30 philbaumann: @Hereticagain Are you using TweetChat? Did you enter the hashtag #rnchat 8/13/2010 21:30 rnchat: @Hereticagain Sorry you feel it's a waste of time. How long have you used Twitter? #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:31 VoalteTrey: http://bit.ly/bN8BzC #RNchat - You can see what a fellow nurse says about us right here! 8/13/2010 21:33 Vaticuss: #RNChat T1: @hereticagain I can't see your comments here. It is a bit tricky to navigate, but once skilled u will c benefit of Twits. 8/13/2010 21:34 NursesNightOut: RT @Hereticagain: I find the boozers offensive and stereotyping #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:36 DebErupts: Cool! RT @VoalteTrey http://bit.ly/bN8BzC #RNchat - You can see what a fellow nurse says about us right here! 8/13/2010 21:36 VoalteTrey: @Hereticagain #RNchat - Our solution only let's nurses text other nurses, doctors, or clinicians in the hospital. 8/13/2010 21:37 Vaticuss: #RNChat Do we have another topic? 8/13/2010 21:37 DebErupts: @Hereticagain You're right the boozers are very offensive. Hiccup! #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:38 rnchat: @Hereticagain Believe me, Twitter's very weird for most people when they're new. It means your sane. Takes a while for some. #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:39 dorameulman: RT @DebErupts: @Hereticagain You're right the boozers are very offensive. Hiccup! #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:39 NursesNightOut: #RNChat Should nurses not drink alcohol? Is it wrong? Are we boozers? #NursesNightOut 8/13/2010 21:39
- 5. Vaticuss: #RNChat @hereticagain I use Twitteriffic on my phone, but there are several platforms. Granted things could be friendlier... 8/13/2010 21:40 rnchat: OK next topic coming up in one minute. #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:40 Vaticuss: #RNChat @hereticagain ..but you gotta play before you can say! What would make it better for you? Improve, adapt = universal appeal 8/13/2010 21:41 DebErupts: I kinda like the @NursesNightOut topic, but Phil's in charge. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:42 rnchat: T1 Hospitals Blocking Facebook - Some hospitals are blocking Facebook & other social media. Should or shouldn't they? #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:44 Vaticuss: #RNChat @hereticagain Granted. So we need you to help us KISS! :) Don't give up on Twit, I've got some cool informative ppl w/lots to say 8/13/2010 21:44 ClearMedNetwork: RT @NurseCircle: @NursesNightOut We think nurses should be allowed to let their hair down, have a drink, and unwind. #RNchat #NursesNightOut 8/13/2010 21:45 Vaticuss: #RNChat T2: I'm really on the fence with T2. Social media does impact productivity, but it also widens relationships/resources 8/13/2010 21:46 rnchat: @Hereticagain It's as simple as that? That's all it's about - socializing? Cant be used for getting CDC news, links 2 research, etc? #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:46 dorameulman: @RNchat It's been an issue in my unit it's monitored and we get reminded on occ. but it doesn't stop it. I just use my phone #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:47 DebErupts: I agree with @Vaticuss As long as productivity is not effected, what's the big deal? Social Media is gonna happen no matter what. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:48 ClearMedical: #RNchat We use social media to provide support to our nurses in real time. Only on breaks though... 8/13/2010 21:49 Vaticuss: #RNChat T2: We've had some issues at my hospital; it's not a free-speech infringement, but rather a business model protecting assets 8/13/2010 21:49 rnchat: @Hereticagain That's true. But: you're *assuming* that's how it would be used. These media can be re-purposed. #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:49 hospitaldrmjobs: RT: @ClearMedical #RNchat We use social media to provide support to our nurses in real time. Only on breaks though...
- 6. 8/13/2010 21:49 Vaticuss: #RNChat The hospital computers block access, but the university computers allow it, so there are ways around the blockade 8/13/2010 21:50 Vaticuss: #RNChat I can see both sides of this topic... Can anyone sway me? ;)~ 8/13/2010 21:51 hospitaldrmjobs: @Vaticuss #RNChat Social media is vital for staff motivation and as mentioned, some even communicate via it. =) 8/13/2010 21:52 rnchat: T1 Follow up: How web-literate are policy-makers? Do they really understand them, or just superficially? #RNchat #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:53 hospitaldrmjobs: @Hereticagain But there can be rules like w anything else. "Access this but not that", as an example. Block like we're 3 yr olds. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:54 DebErupts: They are protecting the patient. Privacy Concerns? #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:55 rnchat: @Hereticagain Why are stupid people working in hospitals in the first place? They're stupid with or without the technology. #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:55 hospitaldrmjobs: @Hereticagain @RNChat Rules and consequences in place like anything else really is most effective to deal w adults. #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:55 hospitaldrmjobs: @Hereticagain Yes indeed. Is that issue. And sad. Not sure they should be working there if that's the case. =( #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:56 Vaticuss: #RNChat Ooh. Dunno bout that. Obviously policy is serious, so a slow and prudent approach is always considered. 8/13/2010 21:56 DebErupts: Maybe they are afraid something will get posted or said? #RNChat 8/13/2010 21:57 Vaticuss: #Rnchat Remember, we may have to defend policy in front of judge/jury, so prudence matters. 8/13/2010 21:57 rnchat: @Hereticagain I no longer work in a hospital. But I was stupid enough to work in one. I got smart, When I did, I left. ;) #RNchat 8/13/2010 21:59 Vaticuss: #RNCHAT @deberupts @hereticagain Nice to chat with you tonight! My time is drawing to a close. 8/13/2010 21:59 rnchat: I'm starting to really like @Hereticagain #RNchat 8/13/2010 22:00
- 7. DebErupts: Know a nurse who took a picture of a wound with her phone and sent it to a wound care nurse in another state. #RNChat 8/13/2010 22:00 DebErupts: Know nurse who took picture of elderly patient and posted it on FaceBook. #RNChat 8/13/2010 22:01 philbaumann: @Hereticagain I really like you. Really - we need debate and discourse. It's very important. Truly. #RNChat 8/13/2010 22:02 Vaticuss: #rnchat @hereticagain A little cynicism is a healthy perspective. 8/13/2010 22:02 rnchat: T2 We'll wrap up in a few minutes. The FB issue brings up a lot: at first it looks simple, but it gets more complex as you explore. #RNchat 8/13/2010 22:03 Vaticuss: #Rnchat @deberupts Did the wound pt consent to photos? :( @hereticagain Heretic indeed! 8/13/2010 22:04 philbaumann: @Hereticagain Technically - almost by definition - everyone on Twitter's a stalker. But no, I'm not - don't have the time ;) #RNChat 8/13/2010 22:04 DebErupts: How about #RNBitchSession for those who don't like #RNChat? 8/13/2010 22:04 Vaticuss: #rnchat @philbaumann Yep, I really like her too. :) 8/13/2010 22:05 DebErupts: @Vaticuss Patient did not consent in writing and that nurse was "spoken" to. #RNChat 8/13/2010 22:06 hospitaldrmjobs: @RNChat I have to head out but am interested in participating in future if OK. Is it every Friday night? At 7? Thanks for info. #RNChat 8/13/2010 22:07 Vaticuss: #RNChat @deberupts Yeesh. That was my concern. And I am almost certain the elderly- FB pt didn't consent. 8/13/2010 22:07 philbaumann: @Hereticagain Yep - takes a while. Twitter's the damnedest thing. #RNChat 8/13/2010 22:07 rnchat: @hospitaldrmjobs Yes, Fridays at 9pm EST - but we also have it at other times as well. Come again! #RNChat 8/13/2010 22:08 Vaticuss: #rnchat @hereticagain I am abashedly corrected. My apologies, oh hertical one. 8/13/2010 22:08 DebErupts: Thanks everyone.
