They actually cancelled the migration because the commercial EMR was getting people killed.

Do you have any links for this? Tragic that people got killed, but even more so if the same software was at the core. And I sure hope it was cancelled, if that was the case.

There’s a link to the OIG reports themselves. It’s almost certainly not the software itself, but the way it was configured and rolled out. Cerner is the market leader for EHRs, so I highly doubt it’s intrinsically flawed; just so configurable it’s easy to cut yourself on the edges.
