I think the tricky thing is that many Health IT people aren't really interested in what's going on on the other side of the fence except sales people scoping out competition. I only know alot about other Health IT software vendors that I've replaced their software with the company that I worked for. Someone that knows a lot about one vendor might not know anything about any of the others. It makes it easy to make sweeping generalizations sometimes; some of which aren't always warranted.
You could also say the same thing about HN, but it always has this feeling of articles that are either "Academic or things the Valley would care about". Most Health IT topics are neither.

I love the design even if it's just a template but is there enough request for a community like this?

But, I do love the idea.
Personally, I think so. The mhealth/healthIT twitter communities are pretty strong, but spread out over multiple blogs/domains.
