No, the MAIN thing is to be able to understand real work processes (the
workplace logic) on the health system coal-face - including how to insert
revised processes (using e.g. new computerised tools/systems) in the same
real-life situation.
THEN to analyse those work processes and devise "computable" structures and
algorithms.
FINALLY you choose the development tools fitting for the job - again not
exclusively based on any "best breed" listing but on a complex evaluation of
tools (including "best breed" knowledge), available skills combined with the
limitations set by the installed base (existing paradigms and systems).
