No one is immune to small errors. However, in the healthcare field, these mistakes can add up and deeply affect many people. Disorganization in this field can be dangerous, and even fatal at times. In the next three paragraphs, I will explain different ways the healthcare field is disorganized, with a brief conclusion at the end. Disorganization can cause chaos and loss in people’s lives, not to mention the mortality rate of these types of cases.
The logistics of how many hospitals are organized is outdated. Fifty percent of hospitals say that their systems in which doctors and nurses can find information are outdated. This causes many healthcare workers to be unable to find the information necessary. Fifty-three percent say their systems aren’t effective either. Doctors often can’t find all of the information that they need. There can be many different types of disorganization, including failures in critical thinking, undisciplined treatment strategies, structural failures, as well as failures in situational awareness. According to the National Library of Medicine, 74 out of the 152 presented cases were caused by disorganization. This is about 48 percent of the cases. Healthcare Dive says that many healthcare workers can’t find the right information with their systems. Only about one in five healthcare workers finds the correct information that they need 100% of the time. The Journal of Surgical Research shows how the smallest errors can deeply affect a patient while in the care of a healthcare worker. About one in ten cases of disorganization can be fatal. All these cases can deeply affect people, whether it be their physical well being, or mental. These cases can cause loss and sometimes chaos in people’s lives. If more problems were to be caused by a disorganization case, the medical bill may increase. Some people can’t afford to pay it off. In conclusion, many hospitals agree that their systems are outdated and ineffective, only one in five doctors can find the right information, and these issues can cause loss and chaos in people’s lives. We need to find a solution to this problem that affects so many people.
