Having a BE WISE menu card can help you choose a “what if” scenario for the day. The human mind can struggle to come up with ideas, so seeing a list can help one to decide. Here is a example menu card. Please note that this is only a example, you can make your own one that better suites your hospital. For example, you may want to modify it to fit certain specialites such as cardiac, neuro, obstetrics etc. To download a modifiable document that you can use in your hospital, please click here.
