The thing that pisses me off about HIPAA and startups is the cost of being HIPAA compliant! You must run on dedicated instances. So your AWS bill is minimal thousands of dollars and that's just the start!

Epic and the other big medical software providers have this market on lockdown. I do not see a path to this seriously challenging the major players any time soon in the US, even though it could be done.

This is one of the great products I have friends working on. ThoughtWorks has a big team working on this product. It's amazing to see it working well in so many countries.
