most of healthcare software (that i have worked with) is really, really bad.

The fact that it mostly has no tests, or if it has tests they mainly test just the happy route.

They usually have lots of documentation, but it's not comprehensive and mostly just describes the happy paths, so when thing break you are out of luck. Also can't google anything since this are all closed source enterprise type software, so you are at the mercy of their support, that often also sucks.

And if you have to integrate with it, you often can't get the documentation, or tools to do it unless you are working for one of their VARs. And the VAR's are often even worse.

If you pick random 10 high school kids, get them into some code academy for a 6 months, and then have them develop an application, the ones that finish will probably be better than majority of health care software out there (for simple reason that they won't know enough to really screw up as bad.).

The only saving grace is, that its often written in Java so you can find workarounds in runtime (or inject stuff) if you really need to.
