This is a great question. I work at a software development firm called Light-it and we've had a few healthcare projects. This are some of the insights:

- Security is highly sensible, all the data is very confidential and can't be lost, so it's important for the IT department to understand that.

- Both, doctors and IT people, tend to use jargon and technical speaking. Both should try being as simple and clear as you can so that there aren't missunderstandings.

- If you're building a system for doctors, the IT team must keep in mind doctors are very busy people so the system should be really smooth, usable and accessible (you'd want to have a good UX designer at the team).

- IT team should be familiarized with the Medstack (HIPAA compliant hosting).

- If whatever platform you're building manages patients information, it's very important to cover all edge cases to guarantee the information safe and the platform 100% reliable.

Hope this is useful!
