Thanks Evelyn, You're not afraid of a "grand challenge" then.. ;o)
Without going into any detail, the distinct areas that I would describe as; #Information management -specific to a patient patient (eg EHR for patient with Chest Pain and Diabetes) and #Knowledge management - agnostic of a patient patient (eg passive/active Decision Support for management of Chest Pain/ Diabetes) ..are poorly understood with most people, often knitting them together in their thinking and solutions.. is a key area where this could help..
