Yes, I think that's exactly right. Perhaps a combination of regulations while a lot of other industries have also enjoyed the spotlight more in the past decade or two. Hence healthcare hasn't attracted as much software talent. A few days ago I got into a Twitter exchange with my insurance company explaining to them why they should secure their login form, not just their registration form. Hopefully the social media rep will actually pass along the recommendation to IT as promised but even with stringent HIPAA regulations it's clear the industry hasn't been able to hire as many competent people as you'd expect for such a vital industry.
