Probably a naive question, but why is EMR still so atrocious? I know there's a lot of garbage software out there, esp when it's single-purpose. But I usually assume that's a combination of low returns to better UI and little money to optimize (eg software improvements that make waiters marginally more efficient).
By contrast, supply of doctor-minutes is a chronic bottleneck in a system that spends trillions. I know healthcare (esp in the US) is full of wonky incentives, but surely improving doctor productivity is connected to hospital outcomes in some straightforward way?
