Obviously never worked in the Health Care Industry
Even now the majority of Medical Practice Software is stuck on Windows Server 2003 R2 and XP and Is Not certified for use on any newer software.
The Major Hospitals here use a Main Frame back end running Unix and the common Medical Practice Software on the Front End which mandates XP as their OS for their User Interface.
Even than the last time I attended an Emergency Department they printed out a Treatment Form that was to be filled in by the Treating Doctor and it had the wrong date on it exactly a year previously. They ran the request again got the same result and then finally got their IT Department to correct the issue.
When the Treating Doctor arrived they wanted to know why I had walked out twice a year ago untreated with the same injury and why I had come back today. They can not remove any printed paper from the records as it throws the Indexing out and this is picked up by the Doctors/Nurses and lists you as a potential Problem. They can not write anything on the Blank Incorrect Forms as the people who print them are not Qualified and do not have the necessary Medical Qualifications and unless you know what has happened the victim has no idea of what the hell is going on and looks at the Quack with a blank look on their face saying something along the lines of What the Hell Are You On About?
If you do not like the Medical Profession using XP because it's not the newest then you have to accept that the software will not work right and the main thing here at least is that the Allergies do not work correctly and throw up screwy errors when run on newer OS's and generally speaking will cause Adverse Medical Outcomes where the best result is death and the more common one if a Life Time of damage.
If you want to pile heaps of crud onto the Local Doctor for using XP then go directly to their Software Supplier and complain as they have not rewritten the software to run on the newest platforms. Of course they will say that the cost of doing so is prohibitive and to be perfectly honest the Main Program used here has just been certified for use on Server 2003 R2 64 Bit in the past 45 days. Prior to that it was not safe to run on a 64 Bit OS and as of March this year they just moved to the R2 Release of 2003.
It takes a very long time after a new OS is released to get Certification to use that new OS for these Medical Programs and the Companies who make these programs do not start the rewrite till after the new OS is released because Microsoft has a habit of making changes from the Pre-release to the RTM Versions which adversely impact on the Medical Program. Hence they take several years to release any new updates and then they wait for the Medical Profession to start using the changes.
In the case of the 64 Bit OS availability this was rushed as the Patient D Base was exceeding the ability of a 32 Bit System to run properly which means in a timely fashion so that change was jumped on and asked for for a long time but other changes are more slowly adopted.
