I've contracted for some medical orgs and I can tell you there is plenty of blame to go around, and most of it belongs on the heads of administration (C-levels), who let doctors get away with things they shouldn't while at the same time underfund and generally shit on their IT departments. IT directors without the backbone or knowledge to speak boardroom and convince the C-levels to have their back are failing, doctors are failing, and administrations are failing when it comes to IT, add all that to a complex regulatory scheme in which some vendors are basically immune to being dropped, overworked doctors and nurses because congress keeps them artificially scarce, and it's a recipe for disaster. To those making excuses for doctors, you should be ashamed of yourselves. There is enough blame for everyone in this case.
