denmark doesnt have materially better collection. canada doesnt either. none of it is actually good because data entry gets worse the richer the peep doing it

ah yeah, i ofc cant comment on who has better/worse data collection going on. i can def believe that, as always, humans are the problem, though

fusion360... kinda... sorta... works on high DPI displays

like certain parts of the UI will still render like it's lower for some reason, and occasionally it just forgets you have that setting on entirely after an update and you have to go into the options to turn it back on, but it functions i guess

It's one of the better ones on a 4k display simply because it's newer, I've used fusion 360 a decent amount doing CNC work. It's relatively 'cheap' for what it does, and at least with everything being subscription based I can just not pay for it when I'm done spitting out all my g-code for the machine. Everyone of their products I've used has had some insane problem where I was trying to google solutions and the answer was 'this is a bug from a decade or two decades ago, just restart the program and hope it goes away'.

Nah EHR legitimately sucks. My wife is a (fairly tech-savvy) optometrist and she says EHR jankiness often adds two unpaid hours to her day. She's used several different EHR systems and they all lack basic features. I was chatting with some of her optometry friends, and one of them was complaining that her EHR is so laggy that it will take five actual seconds to select a new field, and each patient has dozens of mandatory fields. A ton of her friends, despite being new grads, are already trying to leave the field because of the combo of increasing corporatization of the field (and resulting increased workloads) + extremely frustrating charting.

Yup. I've experienced an EHR that was so smalltime we were its biggest client and that wasn't a big time hospital system. It was laggy and crappy and the Citrix servers had to be reset daily. No one ever fixed or even identified the root cause for years and then we went bankrupt. This was also the place that expected desktop to manually log into a portal and reset VMs when maybe they coulda just ran a script If status=Agent Unreachable then reboot. The guy who designed was an arrogant gently caress who tried to get me fired in my first month and then went on to Vmware despite not having made a system that ever you know, worked.

And now I work with big boy Epic and, it's ok I guess, it's not nearly as shithouse as the other one and the people on infrastructure actually seem to know what they're doing, but it'll lag like crazy and I'll get a ticket about it and have no idea what to do because there isn't anything, that's just how these work.

EPIC will build you a custom EHR from the ground up to your exacting specifications no matter how terrible they are and no EPIC installation will be comparable to another.

Oracle will promise you can build whatever you want on their platform, give you a sales contract that says that, and then laugh as you hang yourself with all the rope their customization system provides you. All the while the professional services hours pile up wherein a clueless PM at your org steers an oracle serf into designing more foot guns and lays future mines for your users to discover which will lead to more professional services.

i have a client that has for reasons unrelated to me decided to build a ERP system from scratch with a 3rd party developer

they've released a test module for a workflow demo and after figuring out how to deploy it because all of their documentation was wrong i have to have a call with the partners to explain the massive security issues and the performance problems they're setting themselves up for with the components as designed.

it is hilariously easy to build a large scale database badly, and boy howdy, these guys have gone at it with gusto

I keep asking for training so I can get on the mechanical bull of EHR and ride into figgiesland and WFH but nah, they'd rather make clinical staff into computer touches rather than the other way around. loving people and their "actual experience".

Allscripts was in our environment but no, it was Quadramed.

Speaking of. There were at least two or three other EHRs in the same environment and they all had to talk to each other, I think the interfaces were said to be in the thousands. Surgery had their own thing, ambulatory had Allscripts, general nursing had quadra, Admitting had Chartmaxx and they would always loving call on the weekend from ER because the scanner didn't work.

The problem with having this discussion with shaggar, which we have done again and again and again, is that he can't separate his opinions of how healthcare administration works on the employee and software side (which are correct) from his generally libertarian (i.e. wrong) beliefs about how healthcare should/can be run at a societal level.

Like the reason the doc puts everything into the notes field is because hes a lazy piece of poo poo and doesnt think he should have to do it right, not because the fields dont exist or he hasnt been told how to do it correctly.

Mr. Crow posted:

this is correct, almost all doctors, especially the more specialized they are, are completely full of themselves

doctor strange is more accurate than you think

the more specialized doctors see people at more clinics and hospitals in more networks with disparate it systems and workflows.

like imagine you just worked a full day and were woken up by a hospital you haven’t physically been to in several weeks at 3am. after surgery it’s now say 7am and your coffee/red bull is wearing off and you are trying to remember what your login even is in this hospital’s system. then you try and remember which hospital you’re even at and even if you cared probably are doing it the way the hospital you were at yesterday did stuff.

the problem is also the tendency of americans to believe that $problem is unsolvable because the usa has spent so much money and resources and $problem still exists and it therefore it is simply unsolvable.

no other countries have solved $problem, no need to even remotely consider that, the people suggesting this are not worth engaging

If you make the superconducting loop a figure eight the inductive behavior cancels itself out, so your battery doesn't also turn into a big magnet.

yeah but in countries with socialized medicine it is ok because people do not have to self ration their doctors visits in order to get their moneys worth or deal with concepts like in/out network

the bar to clear here is “will a person get their care they need without massive bankrupting fees” and not “are doctors filling forms correctly”
