Finland has some great programmers, why did they buy from Epic..

  Because buying an off-the-shelf solution from an established American supplier sounds like it's going to be cheaper and better than starting from scratch. To some people at least.

    It definitely sounds better if it means some money/favours will be passed under the table to you or your friends.

    These B2B transactions are about buying as much protection from responsibility/liability as you can. And possibly a couple more golf friends. Nothing to do with the quality of the software...

  Also in Finland we decided to buy off-the-shelf taxation software from American Gentax. I believe it has VB.net core.

  Developing a new EHR from scratch that could be used in a modern healthcare system is a huge undertaking. Even a large team of great programmers would need at least several years to build something minimally acceptable.
