You should also consider the pre-hospital field - a paramedic/EMT in the field with a Toughbook, etc (where they're not still with paper) is typically using horrible software, with little flexibility to what by nature can be a rapidly changing encounter. I see this every day, and hear the cursing that accompanies it, and think to myself that there is so much that could be done to improve this.

That's a really great idea and honestly, our biggest problem now isn't a lack of work but rather a lack of programmers. The entire health care industry from the EMT's up to the hospitals really needs an overhaul as some of the software used is decades old.

What I've observed is that it's hard to get the decision makers listen to you and often, they're unwilling to invest any more than they've already done towards any solution. Granted these conversations were mainly concerned with a SaaS based solution targeted towards HR & Administrative Operations vs. the field techs.
