This is a great question. I work at a software development firm called Light-it and we've had a few healthcare projects. This are some of the insights: - Security is highly sensible, all the data is very confidential and can't be lost, so it's important for the IT department to understand that. - Both, doctors and IT people, tend to use jargon and technical speaking. Both should try being as simple and clear as you can so that there aren't missunderstandings. - If you're building a system for doctors, the IT team must keep in mind doctors are very busy people so the system should be really smooth, usable and accessible (you'd want to have a good UX designer at the team). - IT team should be familiarized with the Medstack (HIPAA compliant hosting). - If whatever platform you're building manages patients information, it's very important to cover all edge cases to guarantee the information safe and the platform 100% reliable. Hope this is useful!
