Sounds EXACTLY like an industry ripe for disruption
1 comments

The EMR market for hospitals and large clinics really isn't ripe for disruption. This isn't an industry where a startup can quickly hack together an "80% solution" as an MVP and sell to some early adopters. Due to regulatory requirements and legitimate patient safety concerns any new entrant needs to be a 100% solution from the start. Otherwise they'll never make it past the first vendor down select.

There may be some limited opportunities for disruptive innovation in niche markets like smaller medical specialties with unique requirements, concierge medical practices, genetic counseling, etc.
