Eh, I'd rather listen to duffpkg, with his extensive, real world experience in health tech, than a random comment.
FWIW, a former coworker of mine spent a few years at a health technology company (also worked with MUMPS), and legal compliance was the number one hurdle to modernizing. It was expensive, and created a huge drag.
- smolder 4y agoI wasn't exactly disagreeing with duffpkg in my little rant there; just reframing the "difficult and expensive" as an unwillingness by various actors to spend the appropriate engineering cost on competently built systems.
