Most
medical softwares are designed as packages and not as modular
components as we would need. In general a package would be
difficult to move to a new environment in a new country.
Most are intended to specific target groups of healthcare
professionals (e.g. GP, nurses, cardiologist, epidemiologists, ...),
while what we would need is a more patient centric approach.
Interoperability remain relatively poor, because
collaborations are difficult as well between medical actors and as well
as well between
informatics developers.
