[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So when you are working on a priority item that is due within an hour and you get an email that is asap, you just drop what you are doing?

I never have ghis issue with my other coworkers and when I’m the one on the receiving end U always ask about the urgency when U’m eirking on a priority item, and I always get the answer that they don’t need it right away.[/quote]
Again, it means as soon as possible. So, say you are doing CPR on someone and your boss asks you to write a report ASAP. Do you stop CPR to write the report? No, because it’s not possible at the moment. No problem. On the other hand, say you are cleaning your office and your boss says they need a report ASAP. Do you finish cleaning your office? No, you work on the report instead, at that very moment.[/quote]

This is funny to me as a health care provider. Because actually if we were in a code and I were doing compressions and the physician running the code called out to me by name and said “I need you to give this medication ASAP” I’d probably stop compressions and administer it , and then immediately get back to compressions lol. (Not that this is a realistic scenario)[/quote]
