All I can say is be weary of HIPAA compliance. It's a pretty big concern because failure to comply can be very costly; I've heard from many in the health/medical field that they can't touch these kinds of tools until they get comfortable with HIPAA. It's not on the roadmap for Slack right now: https://twitter.com/slackhq/status/535281662196977664 https://twitter.com/slackhq/status/535281662196977664

Using Slack in a medical context doesn't automatically mean that HIPAA is being violated, but you're right, without compliance, its usage will be limited when discussing individual patients in unobfuscated detail. I hope Slack makes this a priority at some point as I truly believe that this market could be gigantic for them, but I understand that they might be better off targeting other verticals in the short term that don't have this kind of roadblock
