There are amazing software options for doctors and climatologists and all manner of folks that have to use software.
Often though, someone isn’t willing to pay for top shelf quality so the cheapest option that is viable is chosen. Hence doctors end up with crappy options.
- BadInformatics 6y agoI have yet to see a "good" EHR. The top dollar solutions are at best usability nightmares[1] and since every major vendor is based out of the US, they all optimize for billing/CYA over reducing clinician workload or increasing the standard of care. Do healthcare organizations cheap out on critical software components or modifications? Absolutely, all the time. Do they also spend exorbitant amounts on these bad-for-everyone-but-administrator systems? Also yes. I agree with the point many folks have made about targeting the right audience: just consulting the C-suite is a surefire way to create software end users will hate.
