So many things in healthcare are screwed up. I was in IT for 20+ years and ready to move into law when a healthcare IT management job fell in my lap. 5 years later I still love healthcare IT because there is SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY to improve things, save money, make things better for users and patients. The entire system needs an overhaul, but the really odd thing is that as a nation (USA) we actually CAN do all the things we need to fix it. It's all payment and administrative stuff we need to fix.
- sk5t 6y agoIt's unrolling the entire system of economic incentives that needs to be fixed. This is going to be monstrously difficult... there is lots of potential to improve healthcare but actually trying to achieve it is a bit Quixotic.
- burnte 6y agoNah, we can fix it chunk by chunk. It's actually doable. People IN healthcare WANT it, so that helps a lot.
