Enable surgeries at night for critical cases Empty Enable surgeries at night for critical cases

What is the reason that surgeries are forbidden at night although you have a surgery team ready? That way we might lose ICU patients in dire need of a heart surgery or have to redo event after event just because there is one single patient left in need of a surgery but the docs just say gg at 8 p.m. and leave for 12 hours?

If you have the manpower to do so, why not operate at night?

I have surgeries all night long. The hospitalization UI is not very clear about that, but you need to hire a night shift team consisting at least of the same requirements for enabling hospitalization at a dpt, i.e., 1 surgeon, 1 anesthesiologist and 1 more doctor, plus 2 surgery nurses and 1 more nurse to move the patients. When money constraints allow, I usually hire a 4th spare doctor and nurse, just in case, for high movement wards (IM and GS, mostly). Also, if possible, it's nice to have the 3rd and 4th doctor have diagnosis specialization.

I need to check back - maybe there are overloaded nurses around or I am missing a specialist nurse somewhere because I have the proper docs in the night shift.

You were correct. One of the two nurses had the wrong specialization in the night shift. Now it works. Thank you.
