Title basically. I’m about midlife crisis age (lol) and I’ve been on computers and technology since I could walk. What is with all these doctors who are barely older than me who can barely use the Internet, don’t know how to type or what an adblocker is? I don’t feel like I can trust a doctor who is ok with malware coming in because they doesn’t run a free adblock or even DNS block. I mean wth?
I’ve watched doctors and nurses use software at varying degrees of functionality. The software UX can make or break the effectiveness. If the software was designed without continuous input from the frontline users, they will struggle.
A doctor in my country coded his own practice management software and now it’s the leading PMS in the country. I like to assume it went something along the lines of “fuck this shit I’ll just code my own rather than keep using this trash”.
In general it’s pretty hard to update medical software. It’s all regulated by the FDA and you’ll need to go through all the paperwork and validation to change things.
