It is great to be able to say, if we had it to do over again, we would still do it.... But hindsight tells us we could have done some things better. We should have sinned bravely, and forged ahead with chart tracking in the main file room. The truth is, our inexperience with the technology made us overly cautious. We were, however, absolutely correct about the use of bar coding. Swift collection of accurate data is a treasure to be sought, bar coding is insurance of that treasure.
很高兴能够说,如果我们有机会重新来过,我们仍然会这么做……但事后诸葛亮地看,我们本可以把一些事情做得更好。我们本应该勇敢地犯错,然后在主文件室推进图表跟踪工作。事实上,我们对这项技术缺乏经验,这让我们过于谨慎。然而,我们在条形码使用方面的做法绝对是正确的。快速收集准确的数据是值得追求的财富,条形码就是这笔财富的保障。
