I'd be shocked if iamelgringo didn't have 50 ideas of products/solutions that would make nursing work easier for nurses, cheaper for hospitals, and safer/more consistent for patients. The only question is if he has the stomach to try to sell to the medical industry... (don't know if I would)
You're right. I do have about 50+ ideas. I would love to get out of the health care profession for a while, though. I think the key is in making Doctor's/nurses lives easier without having to sell to hospitals. Hospital budgets usually run on a 1-2% profit margin, so IT budgets are usually pretty thin, and their tolerance to failure is really very thin. We'll see what happens next year after I'm done with school, though.
