JCAHO: Harming patient safety?

How well-intentioned, but poorly-executed, decisions play out in the real world of medicine:

Turns out that I couldn’t just give a verbal order to change my D to Day, I had to personally change the order….so the floor refused to accept the patient because the orders weren’t “complete” until I finished the lac repair and could go change them.

One more example of how government encroachment into medicine HARMS and DELAYS patient care in the interest of “patient safety”. We put two patients at risk (granted the risk is low, but it was unnecessary) in order to make them “more safe”. This is just absurd.
