That's because healthcare interfaces are terribly difficult to work with, because they're the worst of two worlds - mountains of bureaucracy mixed with different tech stacks from different eras.

You don't have to search too hard to read horror stories about interfacing with Epic. In practice EMR vendors are financially disincentivized from interfacing with anyone.
To your point, why, specifically, is it so difficult to interface with these systems? Could it be by design?
Right, because you're searching for stories about interfacing with Epic and they have 50% of the patient marketshare. That's how appeals to popularity work.
You still didn't elaborate on why you said Epic has no HL7 integration.
