Okay, we need to do our debriefing.

Any comments about the case, Jackie?

Well, we were late getting started due to a delay in getting the surgical consent to come in,

but I've talked to the junior resident

and I think we just had a few crossed wires there, so it's sorted.

Yeah, we were busy in clinic this morning,

but we were also delayed getting into this room because the case before us went over their time,

which pushed us back.

That's becoming a regular occurrence with that particular team.

I'm going to ask our nurse manager to adjust their time slots based on the recent history of their cases.

We were also slow to get the portable films from radiology.

There were several rooms requesting films and radiology seemed short-staffed.

That's unusual for them but let's keep an eye on that

and if it happens again raise it as a concern.
