- ironmagma 6y agoSeems like more of a pessimist's take. I know the company I work at[1], at least has an ingrained culture of security that permeates through the org and dictates software development practices and tech stack. It probably helps to be a startup, where smaller missteps would be a bigger deal than for an established player. [1] https://www.commure.com/ https://www.commure.com/

- ironmagma 6y agoWell, EMRs are generally part of older, established presences which have inertia. But companies like Apple and Alto are innovating in the medical space, and they're still governed by HIPAA.
