And it seems like these It engineers who have designed this patient database don't take into account really how busy nurses are, and they don't exactly have time to click and search and find all these things that we need to function as nurses. And honestly, I'm not the only one who's had this experience. I've spoken to my fellow colleague nurses and doctors, and it seems like many people are very unhappy with it

But if there's one device that really could use a new UX, what's the protocol to put forward your idea? And if there isn't a pathway towards improvement, is that what you're open to creating?

So that is another underlying problem which is going on where they believe that frontline healthcare nurses are willing to take on extra responsibilities and roles and take on a bigger workload without being compensated for that. And for me, yeah, I would love to develop some kind of system where all these things work better. But currently what I want to do is spread the message that I spread with my TEDx speech, that there needs to be a bridge between the developers and the end users within the healthcare sector

Ben, it's so nice to be part of your mission on some levels, because the way you speak about evangelizing, the muchneeded shifts and changes happens here happens in this conversation. And I'm so blown away by your tenacity and your vision of your own track towards getting your masters and being a voice for this very specific, specific conversation. I think a lot of us don't think about all the things you brought up here, and I'm just so grateful
