Staff members at Swedish Ballard are dealing with a new and improved computer system today. Signs outside registration desks ask patients to be a little more… well, patient, over the next few days. As with any new system, there are a few minor glitches like screens freezing up and having to re-boot computers (we were there today and experienced it firsthand). One nurse told us that everyone is “a little edgy” today as they try to work out the kinks.
