I used to work in IT where I worked with sizeable Epic installations... and now I’m a clinician amongst other things.
I’m going to agree with the garbage software sentiment.
I will say that Epic implementations tend to be liked better than alternatives... but when it replaced some piece of shit Meditech implementation nursed from 1980 that’s not really high praise dude.
> Looks like it is not only Sweden but other places as well.
As an American it’s a little reassuring to know that despite some economic advantages, the Swedes are also just a bunch of easily impressionable idiots.
Buying from Amazon? You’re likely getting fakes. Genuine SanDisk memory cards are top notch.
Sure every brand will have lemons, but if you’re seeing consistently bad “SanDisk” cards.. you are pretty certainly not getting genuine product. Find a reputable supplier (which is absolutely not Amazon)
From what I understand, Amazon comingles their own inventory with third party sellers so although the cards they buy might be legit, you're not necessarily guaranteed to get what they bought vs what CheapMemoryAmerica1999 contributed even if you buy the ones from Amazon
I read that as well. But Amazon does have a good return policy with respect to that, and if you read recent reviews it seems like the problem is mostly over.
I worked in healthcare IT for years, before than going to medical school, and now in residency. My experience really does not match yours.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, I will agree that doctors in general are quite resistant to technology because they have been fucked over by implementations that are more concerned with billing and regulatory than either better patient care or improving physician quality of life/workload.
Most medical facilities use badges for access. I think what you’re calling resistance is increased scrutiny, something you might not be used to dealing with in other fields.
Based on your sweeping generalizations tinged with bitterness I can only imagine most doctors that have to work with you professionally are going to be a bit on edge. The reaction you’re getting from all these physicians you’re working with is probably related to what I can only imagine is a shitty attitude.
Also in security for a long time, spending a lot of that with hospitals and healthcare organizations. My experience matches the parents. Your points are very valid but doctors can definitely be dicks as well.
Why you are resistant is important but you must follow the rules. Bad things beyond your imagination will happen if you click on that email link. The increased scrutiny allows for better patient tracking and care. That needs to be the priority.
Regulatory paperwork and billing are the reason why you are putting in information into the computer. Without these the medical centre closes. Getting the correct information to that department is part of the role.
The better approach would be to automatically filter email containing dangerous link, or automatically prevent whatever dangerous thing that happen when that link is clicked. Is it hard ? Sure, the goal is to maintain security without creating additional burden to the user.
