Depends on the system. I worked in a hospital where workers were allowed but not required to use personal phones for work stuff. There were also official phones and ipads as well, but of course were harder to approve.
Huh, for some reason this reminded me of the time I was at the doctors for something, I think it was when I went to the mental hospital but anyways, a nurse or someone had a phone that was strictly for work and I asked her a few questions about it from curiosity and she was so kind answering my questions lol not a lot of people put up with my questions 😂 I just have the curiosity of a cat lol
Nah, in our hospital it’s your personal cell, and just to go ahead and let everyone know the truth: if it’s crazy enough, that’s nurses family got it in the group chat.
The application is tied to the EHR, not the phone. The phone is usually just an extra device, so people don't have to use their own, but some organizations do use their own.
I see people complain about staff being on their phones however they don’t realize that yes, we now have charting apps on our phones allowing us to safely take pictures, videos, and message other members of the healthcare team.
It’s a shame when I was in the hospital they didn’t bother to use their phones on my incisional bandage that was increasing in drainage on each shift. Nope, only for personal calls. They did have a hospital phone to answer the patient call bells or being called by other staff. However, their personal phones were definitely getting more use for their personal life😡
@@Yayakoshii1990- I’m a nurse and extremely easy to care for b/c I don’t bother the nurses for frivolous reasons and keep my requests for when they come in my room vs pushing the nurses bell every 15 minutes w/a “oh, I forgot”. I also go into the hospital prepared w/everything I need, including bringing my own water so as not to bother anyone to fill my water container. The care I received was extremely poor and the majority of the nurses poorly educated. I had one excellent nurse, one very good nurse and one fairly good nurse. The rest were horrendous. Since I’m a nurse I was able to keep on top of my situation and health and circled the drainage on my dressing myself since the surgical nurses didn’t seem to learn this is a standard practice to determine if the patient could be hemorrhaging from their surgical site. So yes, I actually am easy to speak with and care for as a patient. I also know how to advocate for myself and others to receive proper care. Obviously, you’re threatened by an individual who expects you to do your job as a nurse. That’s a you problem, not my problem. My intent is to leave a hospital alive and w/o a hospital acquired infection r/t the staff not even knowing how to properly use the gloves they put on their hands. As I noted, yes the nurses did have hospital phones they carried w/them and I am intelligent enough to know the difference of when they were using their hospital phones vs personal phones for their personal lives. I also noticed the good nurses would apologize and explain they needed to take a call on their personal phone vs the lousy ones who started their conversations w/“hey girl whassup, did you hear about….” Big difference.
@michelemiktus2312 so sorry that happened. Personal phones shouldn't be allowed during shift. I do know some facilities do not allow them at all with exceptions of certain techs or physicians that travel between sister facilities for their shift. Otherwise they have an iMobile phone or epic.
i was going to get a breast reduction consult and the guy was taking pictures of my chest with his phone and first thing to come out of his mouth before he even started was "i am NOT keeping these on my phone! they get uploaded right to your chart." i just started laughing 🤣
Where I have worked, we have had a station of iPhones for nursing staff that we log in and out of for our shift (docs just have to use their own, I guess). I can access Epic from my “rover” (the phone) and if I take a photo of a wound it gets uploaded to the media tab in the patient’s chart in Epic.
For my top surgery, the doctors had to take before pictures and progress photos of the healing process each time I went back there. They were super nice, didn't include my face, and I'm sure if I asked to see the photos to check, they'd let me. If you feel uncomfortable, just ask the doctors to view the photos and ask about the process when they have to take photos 😊
I very recently experienced this but never did before this year! I got cellulitis, first ER trip they sucked and didn't test anything or believe me and I'm pregnant so all I got was Tylenol, the second time I went in they took a picture. I had to do a follow up 2 days later and went to urgent care for that. Since the urgent care and the ER were under the same healthcare name he saw the picture and could compare to make sure it was healing. Super cool how connected it all is now.
My dad takes loads of pictures of his surgeries we share the cloud space I always wondered why did he take them, now everything is clear 😂 such a relief to know that it’s not for an obscure reason
my mum did elderly home health and they had to use their personal phones. One day I looked at the family photos and just saw a bunch of wounds. This was because the nurses all had specific patients and had to keep the photos to compare, even printing them off for physical charts. idk if they do that for any other home health, but its what they did, and the patients found it hysterical, happily posing for the pictures.
The wound clinic I did my capstone at has phones specifically for using Haiku It always took me forever to log in so I was always nervous patients thought I was just playing on my phone when I was supposed to be caring for them 😭
I remember the ER dr catching me repeatedly due to infected sutures in my hand from a farm injury and repeat working afterwards. He was literally tracking my streaking and was like “one more visit from you and it’s admission and no farming!” He didn’t catch me again 😂
I was in wound care for a breast surgery. They had a digital camera, not phones. There are a lot of pictures of rotted boob. They did such a great job of healing me!
OMG this makes so much sense!!!! i just went to the hospital a few days ago from an allergic reaction and my nurse, after hooking up those wires to my chest, took a picture of the redness around it on her phone. i wanted to say something but i freeze up when im anxious. this eases all my anxiety😭😭😭
EPIC has become a little more epic since it was last used. The more you know🌈…. Can we shout out the prop department one more time. Post it sutures are top notch all the way!!
I love technology for communication, I can ask my dr about blood sugar related questions without an appointment, not to mention the technology for insulin dependants…❤
This literally happened to me at my last ENT appt, the doc took a picture of the camera feed from the inside of my ear. Pretty neat experience, honestly
I’m used to doctors asking me if students can come in and look at me and ask questions because, I have so much stuff wrong with me, so I provide good experience. I wouldn’t even blink if they took a picture I’d just be like “yeah probably gonna show this disaster to a student” 🤷♀️
At our hospital they have hospital owned phones. Private phones pose a privacy risk, and are not allowed on the floor. The phones are also used instead of pagers to contact doctors and nurses. One of the few good things about Epic is that they can easily get pictures from phones into charts. Apart from that it has been an Epic waste of time and money.
I knew this was what happened when they took pics with their phones but I still loved that my daughters nurse explained it to me after she had to take pics of my childs private area. My girls are the 1st generation of non-sexually abused children in our WHOLE family (that includes myself, parents an my siblings) an I know that had I thought they were keeping inappropriate pics of my child on their phone, they'd be the next ones being admitted into the hospital.
I grew up with a girl who’s now an emt, they take pictures of the scene so the er doctors can see the positioning and placement of how it was when the ambulance arrived. She was over by my house with family and showed us pictures of scenes from that day then told us what was done at the hospital for it
with my latest bowel surgery the ostomy nurses were just starting with this app. it really helped when i was home healing i could send them pics for updates! 😊
My husband had his hand pulled into an industrial baler ( he still has all 10 fingers just in case anyones wondering lol ). And he had nurses from all sides of the trauma center come take pics of his hand because not only was it a trauma center but because his ulnear nerve ( runs up through your arm from your pinky finger; example when you hit your funny bone ) was severed. Did not mind it one bit. Accident happened in January 2016, now its June 2024 and hes had no issues. Has had 5+ surgeries tho.
I wish they would do this in the UK. Would save me a TON of effort. They could just take a pic of my weird eczema and rashes so I don’t get accused of being a hypochondriac every time I take my own phone out and make them look at the pictures the last person asked me to take to keep track of things, because of course, they don’t talk to each other 🙄
When i had my loop recorder placed inwas so confused when they whipped out the phone when i went in for a wound check 😂 they showed me how it all works though and i think thats a really cool way to keep track of that
It's good that there's an app but I feel like it should be a work only phone that people share. That way they can log in and out of their account and they can't access patient files on their personal device.
One of my doctors have a picture of my xray on his phone. Or at least had 10 years ago. Both me and my mom consented. It was because i had a very rare fracture he had never seen before (and most likely wouldn't see for many many years) and he was a relatively new doctor and very interested in learning more.
when i went to see my gp in the uk they took pics with my phone and then asked me to send it to them through the surgery's online system. don't know if it's more efficient than the doctor just using their own work phone but definitely made me feel more secure
I want to assume this would be common sense because what person wants a bunch of random pictures of injuries on their phone, but then I remember I had someone call in to ask me to explain why they only have 700 dollars left after they spent 200 of their 900 available. Also had someone call in to ask me why we didn’t stop the payment on her vehicle when she asked. We had, she called 4 days after the payment was made, we stopped all further payments. She kept asking why we didn’t stop the payment before she asked. I tried to clarify and ask if she meant would we refund it? Nope she wanted to know why we didn’t tell the system not to pull her payment BEFORE she asked us to stop her autopay.
I always thought it was weird that I was allowed see to the pictures, assessments or notes that my doctors and medical staff had for me. Do you know why patients don't always have access to their medical records in the US?
It depends on the hospital system. Some immediately give patients access when they make the appointment. Others require patients to request access and even then they don't always grant it.
Good info! Still bugs me that the example includes the pt not consenting and the pictured being taken. The explanation to overcome the objection does not legally or ethically replace consent, but this exchange normalizes that it does.
I took an iPhone pic of a sus mole on my aunt’s back while she was in hospital for surgery recovery, and she (a doctor of public health herself) was able to identify it as a melanoma and confirm my suspicions. (It’s not her first skin cancer.) But without the clear photo from my phone it would’ve been a lot harder to identify so quickly.
This is completely true in my experience, but the surgeons kept on forgetting to take photos, so the nurses took most of them. Even got 2 home on a piece of paper. (I am weird for looking at those i guess)
At my old job we actually had hospital-issued iPhones. They were functionally bricks outside of the internal network but worked beautifully for us. I got to clock so many patients who tried the “I asked you 45 minutes ago!” Like ma’am, your call came in 6 minutes ago and you watched me text that nurse in front of your own two eyes and we both witnessed her come in with your meds not even a whole 5 minutes later. Time stamps were a GODSEND. (≧∇≦)
They did this when I cut off part of my finger!! The attending nurse sent the picture basically as a consult to the hand doc they had on the floor to see if he thought the chunk was savable, unfortunately he said no so I was wrapped up and sent off. Got a weird scar from it but otherwise my chunk grew back fine
One time, I opened a chart for mental health services, and someone had uploaded a picture of a scrotum to profile pictures. It was dated 2 years ago, but what the hell.
I tried to explain this to my friend last year when she was in the ER…. She thought she was so amazingly sexy at 60 that she was up in arms about how unprofessional the ER docs weee and her picture “better not end up on Instagram because she is so good looking for her age”… 🙄. This went on and on. This was also how she normally talked about herself so I just kept trying to explain they were charting and it was for her care team - turned out she ended up having a endometrial cancer that had Mets to her brain - so all the signs I thought were stroke or dementia was actually the tumors… but since her normal way of talking about herself was how hot she was and everyone wanted her - I just thought that was what it was… but yeah - docs were charting and sending her info to the social work team…
Im a UHual neighborhood dealer, meaning i have my main business but I also do uhual on the side. UHual has an app to upload peoples drivers licenses and I get the same reaction.
As a video streaming platform, you do realise trying to read subtitles means the screen may as well be black as we are not watching the action. You may not be comfortable with your voice, but don’t worry, no one likes their own recorded voice.
just so long as it isn't your personal phone. idc if there's an app, i have no way to verify pictures are only being taken through the app so I'd hope it's a phone tied only to the hospital.
I wasn’t okay when I went with gauz wrapped around my thumb, I was missing the very top of my thumb (it was attached by a small piece of thumb still intact). the night before at like 3am I had cut it but we waited until the morning to get it stitched. They took the gauz off and it separated the top from my thumb again. Wanted to die for a second. We didn’t have band aids the night I cut it so the gauz stuck to the blood when I put it on. :(
I had a dermatologist take a pictire of my lips to send to a colleague when they got super sunburntt in florida and got a nasty bacterial looking grossness on both lips and swelled up. When they dried up, they scab and bled...tell me how i let that happen to me TWICE!?!?!? Seperate times 🙄🙄
Huh, never realized this was a thing. Tbh i didn't really care if my dr had a pic of ny surgical site, but I could totally understand if it was in a more private area
I had an NP be very stressed when taking a pick of a rash under my boobs. Lesson: if you have large boobs and want to go braless… use something that will keep you’re skin dry all day
Too bad your phone is not a HIPAA approved device so even if you have an app, it's not protected, the same exact way that email will never be HIPAA approved unless it's on its own network with absolutely no possible connection to any other network or Internet...
Yeah... Thats still not kosher in work laws, not even talking about HIPPA. You cant use your own devices anymore due to compensation not ever being clear enough. There should be a hospital camera thats specifically intended for documentation. Im barely comfortable with nurses having cell phones at the main desk with how some act towards patients. Add on any cache it might have could include personal data, just one thunbnail ico with a detailed face photo and a wound and its open for lawsuits on both the employee and the Hospital.
I forgot my phone was hooked up to a speaker and all I heard was the screaming out of nowhere😂
😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Bruh 😂😂😂😂😂
I did the same shit yesterday😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
The screaming was great 😂
😂😂
😂😂 🧡❌❌❌❌📲
😂😂😂 brilliant isn't it
Its not a personal cell phone, it's a hospital phone that's tied into the records system.
My sister uses her personal phone for that..?
Depends on the system. I worked in a hospital where workers were allowed but not required to use personal phones for work stuff. There were also official phones and ipads as well, but of course were harder to approve.

Zebra phones can be locked to hospital functions. EPIC Rover is very helpful!

YOU MOVED THE CAPTIONS THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW I KNOW WHATS GOING ON YOU ARE THE BEST THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
I can't read anything because of the captions. Ver frustrating.

My mother works at the hospital in my home town and they provided her with a phone just to use for work purposes
E
Beautifully done with the sing/scream timing 😂
And Bronski Beat are always good!
They should provide you with a work phone then if they expect you to use your personal phone for work.
Agreed

“Epic” information has me rolling😂😂😂
I LOVE this song and you use it perfectly to the video 😂😂😂😂
As someone who works for Epic, thanks for the representation 😂 (on both sides of the coin)
Fancy meeting you here
My dad takes loads of pictures of his surgeries we share the cloud space I always wondered why did he take them, now everything is clear 😂 such a relief to know that it’s not for an obscure reason

The scream singing is what got my sub 😅 whyyyy
Love the "wound" on a sticky note lol
Or Tiger Text! 😊 that’s the one we’re using at the moment
Haven’t heard of that one!
Don't use it. Tiger has has several security issues
I love the pun in the title 🤣
Banger song tbh
Agreed
Besides the perfect acting skills, i watched this four times over to listen to the song lol
The wound clinic I did my capstone at has phones specifically for using Haiku
It always took me forever to log in so I was always nervous patients thought I was just playing on my phone when I was supposed to be caring for them 😭
Where I work we still have to make the patients sign a consent form to snap a pic just to make sure!
It helps a lot! Especially when you have allergies.
I remember the ER dr catching me repeatedly due to infected sutures in my hand from a farm injury and repeat working afterwards. He was literally tracking my streaking and was like “one more visit from you and it’s admission and no farming!” He didn’t catch me again 😂

Not the post it scar! 😂😅
And some doctors have another phone given to them by the hospital just for this purpose
"Aaaaaaaaaaah-aaah-eeeh-aaaah😭"
EPIC has become a little more epic since it was last used. The more you know🌈….
Can we shout out the prop department one more time. Post it sutures are top notch all the way!!
🎉🎉
I love technology for communication, I can ask my dr about blood sugar related questions without an appointment, not to mention the technology for insulin dependants…❤
This literally happened to me at my last ENT appt, the doc took a picture of the camera feed from the inside of my ear. Pretty neat experience, honestly
Instead of seeing “let me take a look” I saw “let me cook” and I choked and had to rewind the video
I’m used to doctors asking me if students can come in and look at me and ask questions because, I have so much stuff wrong with me, so I provide good experience.
I wouldn’t even blink if they took a picture I’d just be like “yeah probably gonna show this disaster to a student” 🤷♀️
You may be a "doctor" but the picture definitely saves on your phone lmao
LOVING the new song you're using ❤😂
At our hospital they have hospital owned phones. Private phones pose a privacy risk, and are not allowed on the floor. The phones are also used instead of pagers to contact doctors and nurses.
One of the few good things about Epic is that they can easily get pictures from phones into charts. Apart from that it has been an Epic waste of time and money.
I wish they would also offer to take photos with my phone so I can have some decent ones for my personal records.

I am an FNE (Forensic Nurse Examiner). I don't use just my phone, I also use a P900 and a few others to document with!
It's the same type of software that doordash uses for their age verification process
This is why my husband has pictures of his arm injury. This man will show anyone that lets him (it's not a lot of people) 😂
We use this kinda encrypted software at our hospital too, its freaks people out to give any sort of information
I wish they would do this in the UK.
Would save me a TON of effort.
They could just take a pic of my weird eczema and rashes so I don’t get accused of being a hypochondriac every time I take my own phone out and make them look at the pictures the last person asked me to take to keep track of things, because of course, they don’t talk to each other 🙄

Why ON EARTH do they not have work phones? What a privacy AND lack of
work-equipment nightmare.
Ha! The title is a reference to the computer system hospitals use!
My dad (hospital doctor) needed to buy a new phone to get better picture quality for this reason!
If I ever get so fucked up the doc wants a picture I will be proud of myself for making it out alive. I would even pose for them if they asked haha.

just so long as it isn't your personal phone. idc if there's an app, i have no way to verify pictures are only being taken through the app so I'd hope it's a phone tied only to the hospital.
Also say you’re going to count to 3 but just remove it on 1
LMAO a few years ago my neurosurgeon showed me my pictures from my brain surgery that he took on his hospital phone (with my consent of course)
Can I ask do the phones get sterilised to between patients like your hands?. Or put in a protective sleave?
Great use of that audio 😂
I wasn’t okay when I went with gauz wrapped around my thumb, I was missing the very top of my thumb (it was attached by a small piece of thumb still intact). the night before at like 3am I had cut it but we waited until the morning to get it stitched. They took the gauz off and it separated the top from my thumb again. Wanted to die for a second. We didn’t have band aids the night I cut it so the gauz stuck to the blood when I put it on. :(
Banger of a song, firstly
How did this guy think photographic health records worked? Did he think they have a film camera stashed somewhere??
I had a dermatologist take a pictire of my lips to send to a colleague when they got super sunburntt in florida and got a nasty bacterial looking grossness on both lips and swelled up. When they dried up, they scab and bled...tell me how i let that happen to me TWICE!?!?!? Seperate times 🙄🙄
Oh I just never cared 😂I’m like well must have a reason 😅
Not kaiser......they'll slap the wound, tell ya ur fine and send you back home confused and usually $50 poorer.
Can't read the captions. On mobile it's covered by the join button. :(
I absolutley live for that stuff docs and nurses think im "brave" for watching them chop me up i just laugh
Huh, never realized this was a thing. Tbh i didn't really care if my dr had a pic of ny surgical site, but I could totally understand if it was in a more private area
epic is my worst enemy it sucks so bad
I still don’t want pictures taken
I had an NP be very stressed when taking a pick of a rash under my boobs.
Lesson: if you have large boobs and want to go braless… use something that will keep you’re skin dry all day
Its almost like smart phone are an advamced portable computer designed for people who do real wprk
Uhh so they can use a hospital provided phone. Theres no way theyre taking medical pictures on a personal cell phone
Too bad your phone is not a HIPAA approved device so even if you have an app, it's not protected, the same exact way that email will never be HIPAA approved unless it's on its own network with absolutely no possible connection to any other network or Internet...
Yeah... Thats still not kosher in work laws, not even talking about HIPPA. You cant use your own devices anymore due to compensation not ever being clear enough. There should be a hospital camera thats specifically intended for documentation. Im barely comfortable with nurses having cell phones at the main desk with how some act towards patients.
Add on any cache it might have could include personal data, just one thunbnail ico with a detailed face photo and a wound and its open for lawsuits on both the employee and the Hospital.
As a patient if i cant see your screen i wont know where the picture saves. Personally, a big no from me 😂
