I work in healthcare IT. They are fired if they don't follow whatever policies the company owning the hospitals/clinics promotes. They are, generally speaking, some of the most greedy people I have ever met. They only do things if they are paid. I help dig up the metrics for dashboards to track what doctors are doing in the computer; to make sure they are documenting properly, etc. (I disagree with 99% of what we are tracking and demanding they do, but CMS controls a lot of that as well.) They are told to spend X amount of time with a patient, to document XYZ. They only do it if they get "incentive payments." They are scum.
