EHRs are slowing doctors down

Great article on Venturebeat talks about the loss of efficiency (and therefore money) associated with certain EHRs. As I've said before, interface matters. Here's some quotes:

"EHRs are one of the main issues that make doctors worry about their profitability."

"EHRs are currently slowing doctors down ... 20 to 25 percent of doctors will be back in the market for better solutions surrounding EHRs."

Venturebeat goes on with a fantastic second article titled "Nurses will never adopt your tech if the usability sucks," which reinforces the same idea, interface matters.

“User experience it’s really critically important. Because of the consumer experience now is pretty slick, when you get into the walls of the hospital [consumer-grade experiences are] beginning to be the expectation, and we so don’t deliver it right now.”

From Stethoscope to Strategy: Why I Built ClinX Academy for Physicians Ready to Lead

“I love medicine—but I don’t love the hamster wheel.” That sentence kept echoing in my head during 3 a.m. shifts and budget meetings alike. If you’re a physician feeling the same tug between clinical passion and systemic frustration, this post is for you. The Problem: Brilliant Clinicians, Limited Business Training Physicians command >80 % of U.S. healthcare spend yet hold <5 % of C-suite seats. Traditional MBAs cost $150K+, 2 years, and countless missed family dinners. Weekend “crash courses” often lack depth, CME credit, or a meaningful network. Burnout rates hover around 50 % —and much of it stems from feeling powerless in operational decisions. Keywords: physician leadership gap, physician executive training, clinician burnout, healthcare MBA alternative, non-clinical career paths My A-Ha Moment in the Hospital Corridor I was serving as a National Medical Director when a perfectly capable colleague admitted, “I have no idea how capitation works—I just sign ...

How to connect openai to zapier to twilio so that you can interface with GPT3 via SMS

I created an SMS interface to openAI's gpt3 API so that I can send an SMS prompt to openai and get an SMS response. Result looks like this: There may be better/easier ways of doing this, but this is how I figured it out. I'm assuming some degree of familiarity w/ Zapier here: 1. Buy a phone number in Twilio to use for this. This only costs $1/mo 2. In Zapier, create a new zap where the trigger is "Webhooks by Zapier" (Premium option). Choose your event as "Catch Hook". This will generate a webhook URL that is custom for this workflow. We are doing this because when you send the SMS to the Twilio phone number, you want it to **instantly** trigger the zapier workflow and not wait the 5-15 min it takes for Twilio to trigger on its own, so for that you need the webhook: 3. Copy the webhook URL from zapier and paste it into Twilio in the "A Messages Comes In" webhook section for that phone number 4. You will then need to send a test message so that Zap...
