I wrote this a few years ago (the “touch pens”). Decided it deserves a blog post.
“The Twelve Days of EMR Beta Testing”
Sung (obviously) to the tune of Twelve Days of Christmas:
- On the twelfth day of beta testing
- My vendor sent to me
- Twelve users using
- Eleven printers printing
- Ten doctors leaping
- Nine patients dancing
- Eight bills a billing
- Seven screens appearing (“in quick succession matching specialty-specific workflow” [muttered quickly under the breath])
- Six nurses disbursing
- Fiiiiive neeeetwooooork piiiiiings! (loudly and obnoxiously drawn out)
- Four calling users
- Three touch pens
- Two bugs rid of
- And a paper record in the debris (groan!)
I was inspired by “12 Days of Christmas Song: A Music Geek Carol!” The fifth line (in reverse order) is sublime.
