    Yes, it CAN, but no one ever does
    Accurate dosing would take things like body mass index and metabolism into consideration, and medications would be available with smaller increments between the next dose up.

    i've set up shit like this, so please stop,. there are leagal issues that the doctor is worried about far more than any idealistic, romantic idea of a money grab you're concerned about.
    On the contrary, medical malpractice often results from doctors just blindly prescribing things because the software let them do it.. at least it used to, I think they've been cleaning up their act a lot lately.
    you're right that the software is VERY VERY restricting and i know many doctors who refuse to use it and they're allowed to, though they have to document what they do in some other way and have someone put it into the computer.
    i've dealt with this in both the united states and canada where have you implemented it?
    I agree with you and it is a very complex issue, and I guess no one group of people should be held responsible for faults in the system, I take back what I said earlier about developers being responsible

    again bullshit. maybe in a walk-in clinic where you ahve no relationship with the patient and you're much more worried about covering your own ass, but not with the people i've dealt with. they DO take into consideration body mass and metabolism and other things that are exceptions to what the monograph prescribes. i've dealt with this myself, personally and have amny doctors in my family who talk about this kind of thing. AND i've discussed this with doctors in how they will deal with exactly this issue when i';ve set up softare for them.

    malpractice is MUCH bigger issue in the US. devs shouldn't be held responsible because they're just developiing what they're told and going by specs. pharma shouldn't be held responsible either because they have tested out their shit to whatever level they can and yes, so fucking what if money is the motive. why the hell shouldn't it be? why do anything in a capitalistic culture without that as the motivation?

    what in my opinion is the probllem is that laws and guidelines are NOT followed and influence peddling is allowed to ocfur to bend or change those laws. and that money and lobbying to governing bodies and congress at a state and federal level isn't more thoroughly documented. also i believe that far worse than any of these people is the insurance industry. these fuckers need to have their whole industry reformed.

    why though?
    yeah the medical insurance system in the US is ugly, but changing it wouldn't actually be a change to insurance as it would be a change to how hospitals receive funding.
    Right now, the God awful 'affordable care' act is just a sneaky way to enslave kids to debt and keep poor people over the age of 25 poor indefinitely. The older generation in their 30s, 40s, and 50s is subconsciously terrified at the prospect of being replaced by the youth, and figure that a way to maintain their position of dominance over the young is by increasing the monetary gap between people in the 18-25 range and people in the 30-50 range. It's disgusting. If I didn't know any better I'd say their ultimate goal is to get away with raping young women
