What specific regulations are you referring to, that apply to EHR software and the like? I know things sold as medical devices/appliances require FDA approval, but for general electronic healthcare record systems (e.g. Epic), what applies other than of course the security/privacy provisions of HIPAA?

order

It permeates the systems. For example, any time you want to update the complement that sends e-prescriptions the network will want you to recertify the system for conformance to requirements.

Seems like a better solution would be making the recertification an easy fast automatic process, not skipping it entirely

Their very existance is a regulation that gets in the way of care. Doctors are in many cases required to keep databases of patient records and they have to be digital. Well that shoehorns them into using old bloated ehr software that takes forever to use when they could just use paper
