It kind of depends, I think. I work with some really great companies who take this stuff very seriously and do a really good job. There is however a gigantic attack surface. The vulnerability to plain old spear phishing alone is gigantic.
Additionally a lot of hospitals have too few, poorly paid and trained IT staff running their in house infrastructure. This is a big mistake, but they think doing it this way is more secure.
And, as you suggest, there are some bad actors. Fortunately there's been a lot of consolidation on the EHR side that's wiped out a lot of the fly by night operations. Third party contractors, are of course another story and a mixed bag.
