This is probably a tangent, but humor me…
A few years back, part of my wife’s job had her dealing with small clinics in a solidly red state. Among the myriad of things she would do would help standardize their intake forms ahead of rolling out the EMR.
Never would they have an electronic version of the paperwork. More than likely it was a photocopy of a photocopy of a form that had originally been drafted in Excel with the requisite three or four typefaces.
So she would pull out one of her stock forms and put on their logo(which I often ended up cleaning up since - again - no electronic version existed) and tweak what ever site specific things were needed and suddenly they had intake paperwork that looked “professional”
At best, most of the people who would be handing out the paperwork didn’t care. In one instance, they went back to using their old illegible form because “it looked more homey and inviting” than the ones my wife put together - those were too “corporate looking” for a small town clinic.
I don’t know. Maybe professionalism is too “Corporate” and amature hour is “good-enough”
Shrug.
