It’s not a tracking chip. These are updated from the EHR or ADT system the hospital uses. Someone is manually charting or hitting a button of the wall of the OR.
I’m an Epic EMR analyst, in Epic these are called “case tracking events” and they’re updated automatically as nurses chart the patient in preprocedure, in room, in recovery, etc.
Unless bed board fucked up and didn’t input an attending in which case the patient is staring at me while I click around for 15 minutes Lille a dumbass while yelling around the corner at my coworker to try calling them for a fifth time.
Yes! This happened to my husband and I wanted so much to be with him right after the surgery (not top surgery, abdominal surgery) but when it took forever and I asked the desk they said he wasn’t even there! Meanwhile he’s on the fifth floor, can’t communicate because he’s a quad and trached so he couldn’t talk, when I finally track him down I can tell he needs suctioning and repositioning…

Anyway, thank you for making the extra effort!
Is it a comically-oversized red button like Mad Money that plays a sound effect when you slap it?
