It is interesting to note that none of these companies makes or sells software for health systems....if anything they are at the mercy of health software vendors....and what about IHE and all the other efforts to integrate the jungle of applications?

The only way integration will happen is for customers to DEMAND it. So far the market has not been able to effect this....maybe it needs to be legislated...like the FAA does with aircraft maintenance standards etc. All it would take would be a scientific and credible study that links hospital error to a lack of integration and the associated mortality rate and things would change quickly IMHO. The evidence is there....
