I was in the ED the other day and noticed that they use a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10. My question is two part.

  1. Do you know of hospitals using Linux?
  2. Besides legacy software and unwanted downtime, is there any reason why they wouldn’t use Linux?

    Windows on the front end and Linux on the backend isn’t uncommon these days. Big iron unix is expensive so it was largely moved off of, although there is still some Windows in the back end depending on vendor. I think Epic is Windows across all tiers.
