Generic software to allow States which choose to move from paper to electronic certification of the cause of death would be an area where the problem is well-definable, the fit for FLOSS should be good, there is a business to be made out of installing and supporting it.
One of the desirable aspects would be for medical record systems and Practice automation systems to be able to either interface to it, or at least present the required information in a quick and accurate form.
Assistance in completing a task often done less than ideally would probably not be resented by users.
