Strypey<p>"The doctor and writer Atul Gawande has written about how computerization in the medical profession is leading to record levels of burnout. For instance, doctors would once skip irrelevant fields when filling out paper forms; now the software forces them to fill in those fields, and they have no power to edit those software rules. As Gawande says of one doctor: 'Spending the extra time didn’t anger her. The pointlessness of it did'.”</p><p><a href="https://www.inkandswitch.com/essay/malleable-software/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">inkandswitch.com/essay/malleab</span><span class="invisible">le-software/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/MalleableSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MalleableSoftware</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://merveilles.town/@i_dabble" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>i_dabble</span></a></span></p>
