Free and Open source software has existed in the medical sector for decades. E.g:

https://www.open-emr.org

FOSS software suffers from the same problems gaining a foothold in healthcare as it does in most sectors - namely a lack of money to spend on sales, and a malaise of FUD.

That's some of the issue. Also probably some usability and integration problems. Zocdoc tells some good stories about how hard integration with medical software is.
