mars-sim VS synthea

The Darian calendar is one which is already proposed to do this, and scientists involved with the rovers live off of Martian time (0:00-24:00 method), half a sol out of sync with the rovers (commands are given in advance, so they prepare commands and receive/review data when it is night for the rovers). The Java Mars Simulation Project uses a modified Utopian Calendar from the Mars Society (this uses a different epoch from the Planetary Society's version), but also uses millisols for time of day rather than the 24 hour method, the 24 hours + witching "hour" (actually closer to 2243 seconds) used in the Mars Trilogy, or the 0:00-24:37:22.663 method. I personally would like to see a calendar loosely based off of the French Revolutionary Calendar be used (for both Earth and Mars). For both, the year would be divided into ten months, nine of which would be equal. On Earth, nine "months" would be forty days long, and on Mars, nine "months" would be seventy sols long. In both instances, "weeks" would be ten-days long except for people opting to use religiously-defined weeks (on Mars it would not align with Earth anyway, so religion and ambiguity is the only reason to keep using seven). Length of time would be measured with seconds and kiloseconds and so on, but time of day would be measured by permille of the day complete, similar to the Mars Simulation Project's millisols. For Earth, if a year is divisible by 4 but not 128, it would be a leap year (with very rare exceptions to keep the start on the equinox on average), making the last "month" 6 days rather than 5. For Mars, if a year's remainder when divided by five is 1 or 3, or if the year is divisible by 125, then it would be a skip year (last month is 39 instead of 40 sols).

As someone working in this arena, I offer an alternative perspective for your consideration: healthcare was an early adopter of information technology and as a result many of its most core technologies come from a nearly unrecognizable time in computing. These systems are “outdated” as a result of success.

The current prevalence of these venerable technologies may be in part due to regulation, but more often has to do with their success.

HL7v2 is just token delimited ascii. Not unlike the similarly primitive but ubiquitous csv. The fields within it are defined by standards documents and once you use it a little, you can read enough to get the gist of most messages. As you might guess, modules in your language of choice are used to parse and compose HL7v2 so its detail isn’t that important.

Something I’d like to point out about Google Hospital is that under the hood it uses MITRE’s Synthea to generate synthetic patient data.
