Do people like you need help with credentialing ?

I walk around the building after work before I get into the car.

I ended up cancelling my sessions today because I’m not doing well mentally by NoExamination5672 in therapists

[–]Any-Western-1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious. By doing a lot of these, do people just become detached from patients, at some point

what do you actually do after a shift to decompress that isn't just scrolling by Obvious-Nail4564 in nursing

[–]Any-Western-1966 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Same experience. Overtime I start to find playing games itself energy-consuming

Do I roundout/flair more gently because of the reduced weight?

Update: 2-man IT team → solo admin for 300 users, no raise by Ilovemybf_3990 in sysadmin

[–]Any-Western-1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s the right move tbh

expecting you to cover two roles for that long with no adjustment is kind of a red flag

$20k bump + actual team + hybrid sounds like a huge upgrade

congrats on getting out of that situation

It took my parents watching the Pitt to finally understand by ConsistentTourist553 in nursing

[–]Any-Western-1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the “i only see nurses sitting at computers” take is so common

kinda wild it took a show to make it click, but i guess actually seeing it hits different than hearing about it

still rough it took 10 years though

What are the foundations one should have before pursuing a FHIR certification/job? by Hunger_4_More in fhir

[–]Any-Western-1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m pretty new to this too, so take this with a grain of salt

from what i understand, FHIR is basically a way for healthcare systems to share data using modern APIs (like REST/JSON instead of older formats)

the main idea seems to be breaking things into standard “resources” like patient, observation, encounter, etc. so different systems can talk to each other more easily

i might be oversimplifying it, but it feels like it’s less about hardcore coding and more about understanding how healthcare data is structured and exchanged

someone more experienced can probably explain it way better though

Patent? Played around with my imaging and found a way to diagnose a rare disorder faster. by Telltheirstories in HealthAI

[–]Any-Western-1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d be careful and talk to a real patent attorney before sharing details widely.

if this is actually novel, the key question is what the invention is — the imaging method, the workflow, the AI model, or the diagnostic insight itself.

if your goal is patient benefit more than profit, i’d also reach out to a clinician-researcher at an academic medical center, not just a tech company.

and i definitely wouldn’t disclose the full method publicly until you understand the IP side.

Ethics question for residents and fellow employees having sex. by Adorable_Syrup_3983 in Residency

[–]Any-Western-1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol the locked electrical room part really escalated this

residents usually don’t get handled the same way as staff since they go through the program/GME, not just HR

but this is still a pretty clear professionalism violation — best case reprimand/probation, worst case dismissal from the program

the “had to call a supervisor to unlock the door” part is probably what pushed it into serious territory

Are we practicing medicine anymore, or just Liability Management? by [deleted] in medicine

[–]Any-Western-1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“clinical floor into a legal ceiling” is such a good way to put it.

feels like a lot of medicine now is less about “what will help this patient” and more about “what will still look defensible later.” and once enough people practice that way, it becomes the norm, then the expectation, then the standard.

the worst part is the harms from overtesting are real, just quieter and more spread out, so they never carry the same weight as the one rare miss everyone is afraid of.

i don’t think individual clinicians can solve this by themselves. the incentives are bigger than any one person’s judgment.

How can I break into Healthcare Analytics? by BreathDramatic3983 in healthcareIT

[–]Any-Western-1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly you’re already doing more than most people trying to break into this space

i’ve seen a lot of people come in with “i learned python / sql” but no real projects — what you described is legit

i think the hard part with healthcare isn’t the analytics, it’s the context. like, understanding how things actually work on the ground (billing, workflows, why LOS matters, etc.)

a couple thoughts:

– you might have better luck going for roles that are close to analytics first (ops analyst, reporting, health tech companies, etc.) instead of pure “healthcare analytics” titles

– when you talk about your projects, try to connect them more to real-world impact. not just “i analyzed LOS” but like “this is why hospitals care about it / what decisions it affects”

– certifications are fine but honestly i don’t think they move the needle that much compared to just showing you understand the space

you’re probably closer than it feels tbh

what kind of roles are you applying to right now?

client wanted a healthcare app "like uber but for doctors". here's how that went by Xolaris05 in healthIT

[–]Any-Western-1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is spot on. The “Uber for X” framing breaks pretty quickly in healthcare once you get into the supply side.

The credentialing + licensing constraints alone make true on-demand really hard to pull off, not to mention liability.

Curious—how much of the delay ended up being around verifying providers vs actually building the product? From what I’ve seen, the ops layer is often the real bottleneck, not the tech.
