I’ve started seeing more shit like this, even TVs in exam rooms with ads like this.

        I’ve never seen a television screen facing the waiting room in any of my dentists office, in my entire life. Ive had 4 dentists in the last 5 years and I’m in the market for a new one now. I’ve probably had a dozen dentists in my life.

        No idea what you’re talking about.

        I would never even entertain giving a medical professional my business if they had advertisements facing clients. Nonsequitir.

          Good, keep that dentist. Phreesia seema to be geared towards typical doctor’s offices and hospitals, not dentists.

          My doctor doesn’t use Phreesia systems (yet), which is nice.

      I run three offices, and I can tell you we don’t get any of that money. In fact we pay out the ass for whatever bullshit tech company was forced on us by insurance lobbyists to make you see those ads, while they also make the questionaires unreasonably long and uneditable so they can data harvest and make another dollar after tech fees, Ad revenue, service charges, and insurance payments.

      But we can’t just not use them, because every new regulation is a 60,000$ fine, and they send ghost patients at least once a quarter to try and catch violations to rules they lobbied to make as difficult as possible to conform to.

      My EHR system is 1700$ per month per office, and it has only made everything much slower and less personal, while forcing me to constantly do tech support for half of our patients.

      Hippa is supposed to protect us from the data harvesting, but since the insurance companies own the tech, device, ad, and service companies, as well as most offices, they don’t have to sell your data, because they’re the ones who want it.
