I think so. I work in EMS and we use 24 hr. All my clocks and devices are set to 24 hr and I am irritated when I can’t change them off the 12 hr clock. It’s safer, if I tell you a medication was last administered at 10:00 there’s room for error, but if I tell you it was given at 2200 there’s no confusion.
Not sure if this applies to you, but how does EMS work with time across timezones? Like if a patient is airlifted from one location to another and crosses timezones? Is that another source of error, or is generally things being an hour off by accident not an issue?
Don’t hospitals use 24 hours too?
