I'm an MD/Dev at one of the only major academic centers in US that still maintains a home-built EHR. Atul Gawande is definitely a giant in healthcare process improvement and a great writer. Many of us were eagerly anticipating what he would do with the Amazon/JP Morgan/Berkshire Hathaway healthcare initiative and disappointed when he stepped down (https://www.geekwire.com/2020/atul-gawande-steps-ceo-haven-h...).
Unfortunately, there are too few of us that understand both the challenges of caring for patients and the barriers of writing (and maintaining!) good software. Our EHR is far from perfect, but the basic HTML interface has aged remarkably well into the era of smartphones. Our approach is to extend functionality of our EHR with APIs and an ecosystem of add-ons. Always looking for people with a passion for healthcare and flexible skills. Mumps/Cache, API design, JS (vanilla, JQuery, React), mobile (Swift, Java, React Native, Kony), and ML (computer vision and NLP).
Good luck! Long road ahead, but it's worth it. I'm at BIDMC. Reach out (email in profile) if you need advice or want an interesting project to work on.
