In the US, Everyone knows doctor reports and electronic medical records and all are broken. This isn't a tech problem or a novel idea. Hospital administration and healthcare IT is one of the most fundamentally broken amd inefficiencies industries you can imagine. Regulatory capture, bureaucracy, inertia, established players like Epic with products that might not even be compatible between two installations of the same product. And thousands of startups with great new ideas that will definitely reduce doctors workload by making everything easier. No standardization. Updating prescriptions via a software service - wow. You'd have to get the doctors paid for that (it took a pandemic to make payers willing to consider it), make then allowed to do that in the first place (ask telemedicine how easy that is), protect from liability, be HIPAA compliant, integrate it with the rest of their systems... If you managed to fix all that and create fundamental, systemic change from the government to the hospital desk so your product could gain traction as a startup with a cool new doctor reporting tool, well, you'd go down in history as one of the greatest startups and most effective management teams in the history of capitalism.
