medical

I need to write medical program to manage medical practices (patient records, appointments, prescription, etc). Note that this is not for US practices so US EMRs will not work. What is the best platform to develop the software in ie. language and database?

Considerations include:
- Integration with the web - will need to have Doctors download updates to the software from the web. Will also post reports from the software unto webpages
- The software will include a mobile application - probably for Blackberry
- Cost is a big factor - need to minimize the license cost to the users
- Need tight security on the program
