Jeff Langmaid argues that the explosion of tech choices for running a medical practice—EHR systems, website design, phone agents, digital notes—has created so many decisions that it quickly exposes who shouldn't own one. Those uncomfortable with constant tech choices fail faster and often realize they'd rather focus on clinical work than ownership.
They'll fail faster and they'll understand really quickly like, oh, this is not for me. Instead of like tricking themselves into halfway believing they can when even though technology makes the barrier lower, when the technology, not burden, but opportunity becomes greater. 10 years ago, technology, the only thing you had to make a decision on what your website's going to look like. Now it's like, okay, who am I using for a phone agent? Who am I using for my EHR billing? Who am I using for all this? Like, we're on paper notes, went so digital. So it's like the decision-making is there's way more decisions from a technology perspective. To be made. And if you're not an entrepreneur and you just want to go get a paycheck, you don't deal with that crap. So you actually be more likely to be like, where's a good opportunity for me to just go do my craft? Maybe I'm overly optimistic right now. We'll see.
