Whether creating a new application or modifying existing software, one of the key challenges to a successful software project is gathering design and development requirements from existing stakeholders.  With subject matter specialists from various branches of the company, each member of the team often provides critical information that must be incorporated into the project.  The software development cycle needs to provide feedback cycles so that relevant requirements are integrated into the software, as early on in the project as possible to reduce revisions and rework.

Medical software differentiates itself from other branches of software with its strict regulatory and legal requirements.  With regulations such as HIPAA dictating physical and electronic data security requirements, applications must be designed to ensure patient data security.  Sensitive data such as social security numbers should be encrypted, to reduce the scale of the breach in case the server is compromised.  In addition, user accounts should be enforced with roles and password policies, to make sure that each user has an individual account instead of a shared group account.  Audit logs should also be integrated into the software, so that changes to data can be monitored and tracked to an individual user.  In addition to the electronic data security, clients should also have policies in place for physical security of the servers, making sure they are in a room with restricted access, and with appropriate firewalls and network security devices in place.
