In your opinion, is this something that could be exhaustively modeled in software? What would the bottlenecks be? I'm guessing probably the biggest is the fact that the necessary data isn't digitized, or if it is, it's not easily accessible.
Yes. It could be. The bottleneck is selling it. Healthcare has lots of problems that can be solved with software. The bottleneck is always making a business case and selling to hospitals which is a nightmare.
So long as a shitty excel sheet with inaccurate data fulfills the regulatory requirement, you will find a lot of trouble getting people to pay money for it.
I’d’ve assumed that it’s all done by software that takes into account all the factors, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a step-by-step guide in a physical book. (Hospitals are horribly outdated with technology)
