Regulations such as CFR 21 Part 11 have a known quantity of dead people behind it. It is not regulation for regulation’s sake.
“Move fast, break things” is not how healthcare infrastructure should work.
- sjducb 3y agoThis is the standard response, but we’re not measuring the deaths caused by bad software. Bad software causes deaths by: - user error - It’s expensive so people don’t get treated in the first place - doctors making treatment errors because they couldn’t see the whole picture because they couldn’t work the software Also the non-regulated software is observably better and more reliable than regulated software. The author even compares regulated software to non-regulated software in the article. Paradoxically ensuring that an error is never made reduces the probability that the system will do the right thing.
- nullindividual 3y agoThere's no noted causation between poor software and patient death. There is a high correlation against "move fast, break things" and patient death.
- sjducb 3y agoThere’s a middle ground between “Move fast and break things” and “Don’t make any changes in case you break anything”
