I think it is worth doing, but if doing, we need to do it right.
As you mention, it's going to be a lot of work for one person.

Couldn't this be worked on with in combination with a currently
installed or installing hospital, where the parmacists would review
the build and we make sure it gets uploaded to the upstream GNU Health
repository?

I'm afraid we (you?) would do the work, but that nobody would be able
to use it without doing major modifications, which is too bad for the
time already invested.

if a pharmacist is already working on it, it would provide better
quality for all if we could include his work back upstream.

Thoughts?
