Saving time and disparate product integrations are definitely the main requests I see from them. We buy a ton of crap to do patient care and people want widgets that talk with everything. Then someone decides those products are out of date, and so the widgets need to be rewritten. Then there are budget constraints because the hospital's goal isn't to have very quick EMRs running on beefy hardware/infrastructure. But naturally if you show them how much time/money is wasted waiting on a slow database call, it gets ignored. Google should write EMR software. They would probably be pretty good at it.
