This should every Friday afternoon
I work in hospice making home visits, and yesterday was a bad day. Sucks when you're out making visits and missing notifications about change in patient conditions and death notifications. Before Teams they used a paging system that was glitchy, but everyone understood it was shit so there was an additional level of contact to ensure workers got relevant info when needed. Yesterday half the day went by before people realized the system was fucked.
Did we learn something about depending on bad infrastructure for essential comms?
I feel like there is an opportunity for a local network solution to this that would be very resilient. It kind of surprises me that for medical communication you would ever want to rely primarily on an application that has to go out to the internet and back. Then again I guess companies that wish to make money probably can’t just, you know, sell a complete stand-alone product that just works. But if I were to build one for my networking class; what quality of life, or feature requirements would be preferred in a health care setting?
