Thanks so much for your comment. As someone also working on problems in healthcare IT (and with many complaints about existing solutions), it's at least reassuring to know that other people also find it as asinine as I do. There's also a ton of solutions I haven't seen before so it's a really great reference.
On another note for people starting healthcare SaaS targeting clinics and hospitals, the situation also becomes a somewhat awkward juggling act between oneself, the clinic, and the EHR provider, since any API access offered by the EHR is meant to be given to the clinic (which often is ill-equipped to actually make use of this). Coordinating some handoff is thus non-trivial since you'll likely end up talking to people who don't know what API access is and need to get bounced around for a bit. You're also basically operating in a black box without much information about the EHR system itself, and developers with experience on multiple EHRs are a bit uncommon.
