I have a feeling it's more a case of misaligned incentives than just that people with the right knowledge are not involved. Medical professionals are certainly one set of stakeholders that EHR developers consider, but I'm almost certainly they aren't the ones given the highest priority. I would bet that billing, legal compliance and protection from accusations of malpractice are all given a higher priority than actually being able to effectively treat patients.
