The only reason the hospital is able to save a penny on this
is because it has an army of free labor in the form of residents. Try this at a private hospital where people actually expect to get paid for the work they are doing and the hospital would be hemorrhaging money in personnel costs in order to save on that one hospital day LOS.
I think it's cool that this has been a success at your institution but it's just not practical in most settings. I think it's potentially dangerous when all the services - especially floor nursing are not on the same page.
Completely agree.
