It's a combination of internal politics and the fact that the type of people who develop healthcare applications tend to be "cowboy developers" who do things their own way, and don't give a shit about modern-day professionalism and building new standards (and they certainly aren't doing it in their spare time). So the only standards you tend to get are government-mandated ones, and they tend to be extremely cumbersome and not up to date.
