Why do I feel the AMA was a bigger problem than liability?
Plus--wouldn't the software company be liable? (I don't think the tech is ready for office use, but when it is--I still think it will be a battle.)
Kinda like all medical devices. Whenever there's a problem, the equipment is looked at first?
Personally, I don't think the AMA wants computers taking away their doctor's precious income, and will only acquiesce when the tech makes the doctor more money, or is so good politicians/insurance companies start demanding it.
- ethbr0 5y agoInsurance companies will be the ones to push it. And they'll push it when the government (through Medicare) mandates it / cost reductions. But IMHO medical law in general has a big device / software blind spot. It's become decent at figuring out liability for humans, while permitting normal operations. But all that machinery and case law doesn't really exist for black box software systems (no human in the loop). And if there's one thing that medical providers and insurance companies hate, it's unbounded liability.
