I work in the medical software industry. I can tell you that patient records software is extremely complex. There is lots of information to track as well as verifying standardized medical codes, test result, xrays, catscans, etc., billing information to the patient, government, insurance companies, etc. Here is the US there is a huge push to go to an electronic medical record for every patient.
