   I guess some things are the same no matter where you are. Most of the   
   medical software in the USA is just as you've described. Popups   
   everywhere. So many popup's that it's easy to get lost in the software.   
   While the software is technically sound, the interfaces are very   
   confusing and difficult to learn.

   I think part of the problem is that for the most part the people who   
   design the software don't actually use it. And they wonder why so few   
   doctors use electronic medical records in the USA.
