But it wasn't broken

So I started back to work two weeks ago. Just long enough for the corporation to change completely how nurses chart, give out medications and basically how you spend your day. Previously we had lovely paper and pen to write down our patients progress, use a medication administration record on paper to give medications, and generally managed to keep organized in our heads. Now thanks to Cerner we use tick boxes to chart our patients status, take a laptop from patient to patient and use the scroll button to hand out medications, and follow pre determined tasks so we don't forget anything. I am not going to say anything negative in case there are spies but ....the paper worked.
