They have a problem, we have an opportunity guys. Help automatise their paperwork and procedures! Nice big market, and clients with deep pockets. Do it right, and it'll spread virally, as they'll recommend your product to their collegues.
Now, I could not tell you in what form and how this automatisation would work. Some standardizing (of data sharing etc) would help too.
And furthermore, you would help them HELP people.
- nradov 18y agoThere are dozens, maybe hundreds, of companies already doing this. If you have a good idea then go ahead and try, but you'll find that the sales cycle is slow, competition is fierce, and the pockets aren't all that deep. There are a variety of existing standards for data sharing from organizations like HL7, HITSP, IHE, ANSI, NCPDP, etc. The standards work but many vendors don't fully support them yet. And sharing healthcare data means you also have to enable your customers to comply with HIPAA privacy regulations as well as (sometimes) more restrictive state rules.
- noonespecial 18y agoWe've traveled this road fairly extensively as well. You will almost certainly find that you will have countless ideas on how to improve things. The better the idea, and the more it will help, the less likely it is that you will be allowed to do it. Implementing good ideas requires change. I can't think of many fields where change is more resisted than medicine.
