I'm currently designing an [EHR system for my thesis](http://barnett.surge.sh/). I've been interviewing local GP's and healthcare professionals.
And holy hell, they hate medtech. They're actually quite happy with the functionality, but hate the interface. I had one nurse who went out of her way to contact them asking to make the smallest change, which would improve her job heaps - nearly a year later, no updates.
Thing is, these institutions are in a hard place. MedTech is shitty, but works, and changing to another system is such a huge task, why bother. Beyond that, if the majority of healthcare institutions are also in the same boat, so why go against the grain.
Healthcare software is weird man.
EDIT: I got meditech confused with medtech, my bad. Medtech still sucks.
