My next invention would entail reducing medication errors. Current available applications are developed by hackers who make it too difficult for non-hacker healthcare professionals to understand how to use. In addition, the logical layout of lab values, prescriptions and so forth is not optimized for decreased error. To have hospitals pay 40-60 million a year to license an ineffective, flawed, application is ridiculous. I've been in one of the most advanced hospitals in the United States and my gawd, they still use a "DOS" system like interface ...wth...60 million a year for that?
Personally, my error medication invention will be a contribution I'd like to make to patients and to my profession. You don't get second chances when you deal with patients.. a first error can kill.
