Re: Calling programmers
^^^ What they said.
A lot of standard programming courses are likely to be in the Java language anyway, so there's quite a good chance of that. If you've got a fair idea and have programmed before, then perhaps reading a 'Teach yourself Java in 21 days' might suffice ... depends on your aptitude, etc. The basic fundamentals of Java will be the same (looping, variable use, etc.) but you'll be calling different functions (and some won't exist)
The only thing I'd add is to point out any security issues with patient data going missing ... should the software would have to be locked to work only on particular phones that are hospital property, etc.
Though I think most of that data can be freely gained from laptops kindly left on trains.
