It's a marketplace designed to be exploited by shitty vendors.

You have the hospital administration that cares about billing first and foremost. Then you have doctors who have 500 lb egos and could give a shit about the computer systems.

All the company has to do is sell regional hospitals and the smaller practices will fall in line to more easily interact with the health network.

When my wife had our baby, we were in the hospital for a few days due to some complications. The OB nurses rolled around carts with two thin clients and two PCs on a KVM. There were seperate systems for charting, pharmacy, special OB charting, and something else. It was ridiculous.
