Don't Forget Where You Started From

Here at SeriousMD, every feature, every release and every change we do has a story behind it.

This past week, the team talked about our plans for the rest of 2022 and the future of healthcare as we see it in the Philippines.

One of the things I talked about was the product’s history. For me, it’s always great to be able to share this as it shows you how much work and effort have been put in to this little project.

Here’s one of my slides showing what the app looked like 6 years ago.

As we continue to grow NowServing and SeriousMD in the next months and years, it’s important to see and understand why certain processes or features are there and of course, it gives us context into what we could have done better. With the scope of our releases for the EMR side getting bigger and bigger, it’s all the more important that each team member know about those things.

That way, our next releases will have a more snug design and experience, while the development and deployment side also won’t encounter the same technical issues.

From our experiences, I can clearly say that in a startup setting, everything is always a learning experience and it’s how you put those learnings into policies and standards that will keep you going and improving. Don’t neglect your history. Don’t forget where you started from. ✌️
