I too have written software for both Canada and the US markets. Don't YOLO this one kid. (the fact you didn't mention the 2 other common ISO standards I omitted on purpose, means you have not done your work properly for "years" as you put it.)

It's always disappointing to see such ignorance in HN comments like this. While there are some relevant technical standards cross listed with ISO, adherence to ISO standards isn't legally required for products like Metriport. Seriously buddy, you can just go read the FDA regulations instead of making a fool of yourself. But if you'd like to keep looking silly then feel free to have the last word.

It is ok to disagree kid (I often make mistakes), but asserting your locale's rules are somehow international is a nonsense argument for your own ego.

I would recommend considering programs compatible with your obvious temperament:

Feel free to append any additional off-topic nonsense below if it makes you feel better. I still like you. =3

more data does not always mean good data. Health systems have varying level of quality and accuracy and in some cases, wrong information affects patient outcomes. The idea of connecting sparse systems has pros and cons. Consider someone who is misdiagnosed and switching doctors because they can't get the medical staff to believe them. They would be served by a fresh set of data and if re-diagnosed, so be it.

Interesting case, inaccurate data aside, I imagine medical staff form diagnoses objectively.

they do, culturally. However, data does influence their decisions. Appropriately diagnosis are probability based and is an art. Its not perfect, but currently it is good

I wish you great luck. I sincerely hope it works out. > Epic is not perfect They have managed to do great consolidation, but the people that I hear complaints from, are the end-users (doctors, nurses, and first-line medical admins). They are a tough crowd to please (most of the medical folks I know personally, are technophobes), but I have seen some of the Epic interfaces, and they could use improvement; even for a t…

it's a case where the payer is different from the user. Payer wants to tick boxes, user wants to be efficient. I see this in education for example, where platforms like Canvas are ubiquitous (not implying that Canvas is not usable, they do a good job IMHO, but it must be like hell for them!).
