There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

I’ve watched doctors and nurses use software at varying degrees of functionality. The software UX can make or break the effectiveness. If the software was designed without continuous input from the frontline users, they will struggle.
A doctor in my country coded his own practice management software and now it’s the leading PMS in the country. I like to assume it went something along the lines of “fuck this shit I’ll just code my own rather than keep using this trash”.
In general it’s pretty hard to update medical software. It’s all regulated by the FDA and you’ll need to go through all the paperwork and validation to change things.
