Someone should explain to me why #Epic, a million dollar piece of software, doesn't have customization for its shortcut keys.
I REALLY want to be able to set up a workflow in #Beaker that ONLY uses the keyboard. I should be able to do that. It's ridiculous. #MedMastodon #LabMed #LabTechs
@War_Kittens From what I have heard, Epic is a fossil of a company that only lives because of the HITECH act. Its servers use a language called MUMPS that is literally from the PDP-10 era and which probably is similarly of obscenely great age.
@War_Kittens While the company in this article is not named, the commenters have identified it as Epic, and Epic does indeed use Mumps and Visual Basic.

It's worlds better than the alternative — Cerner. I have no idea how Cerner even got as far as a billion dollar company. Each of its sections is an entirely different program. Open a new task, oh that's different program even though it just looks like a window.
@War_Kittens That sounds awful, and also not surprising given that the HITECH act had a severely anticompetitive effect on the market for EHR software.
