I am so busy fighting fires and doing maintenance, that I don't have time to innovate. There are a few reasons for this: regulatory burden (healthcare), and the complexity of systems, especially integration between complex systems created by different vendors.
- cdiamand 10y agoThis is a good one! Every time I post an interview in the healthcare field, I have a ton of people write in saying they'd never attempt to fix the problem because of HIPAA or some other regulation. The folks who can make these regulations easier to work around, or who have the patience to slog through it have an incredible opportunity before them.
- SQL2219 10y agoHere's the thing with HIPAA, the entire healthcare system in the USA treats HIPAA as if it were a truck-load of nitroglycerin. They totally go over-board on its interpretation, and they're super conservative if they think they're going to have a conflict with it. We tip-toe around these regulations and in the end patients are paying for it.
- adrianN 10y agoIf the patients are paying, you don't have to. So it makes sense, business wise.
