I used to work for a health care information systems company called Meditech. They are one of the largest providers software and EHR to hospitals. While I was there I was amazed at how inefficient the whole process was. My daily coding work did not even involve version control! Also we were programming in a language developed in house from like 1985 or something. Its certainly easy for me to believe that a system like that would only cause more problems than it solved.


I have a friend who told similar horror stories about working for Meditech. I hope she's escaped to a better job by now.


I used meditech as a medical student on the wards. Very painful experience. I'm sure it was really slick 20 years ago, but it's painful now.
