Most doctors have themselves to blame, they hate change, they hate tech, they hate having to learn something new. Even if it is to do with there specialty, they have to be forced by the government to study new stuff. There is a huge industry around getting drs to go study new stuff, which they are paid to do.
Doctors hate change, they want to keep things as they are. For most non complicated consults, people are much better of with a smart system rather than going to talk to a bored dr, but drs do not want to give up their control.
- alextingle 16y agoEveryone hates change and with good reason. Assume the doctor has a working system that enables them to do their job, without being distracted by having to learn new, irrelevant procedures. Any new "better" system has to provide really tangible benefits to be worthwhile learning. If that new system has been designed by administrators, for the benefit of administrators, then it's little wonder that the doctors are resistant to change.
