Yes, yes it is. I've worked on such software, in fact. Dosage calculators can, obviously, only work with the inputs they're given. Even when prompted to verify and re-verify data entry for critical things, most of the actual users are blanked out on auto pilot.
I've been involved in countless conversations with program/hospital system administration types (at _the_ largest hospital systems in the US) about all of the ways we might try to mitigate against these types of issues. These admin folks are clever, too, they know how to work _our_ reporting systems through sales and product people to CYA, as it were. We typically walk into these meetings under the guise of "training issues," but it's anything but... This software we're talking about is form fields, if we're being honest about this stuff, and the real issue is overworked and underpaid staff. If you say that, though, you're on the hook for potentially losing these massive contracts.
It's all very corporate, on every side, is the problem, as others are alluding.
