I think there were a number of issues which influenced the Government's moving in
a direction of newer technologies with respect to interoperability. In my
opinion, the primary driver was that there was a significant about of work being
done in the global healtchare community, and proprietary solutions are not
positioned to leverage it. Add to that the industry environment within healthcare
of the need to work across care organizations, and the stage was set.
For the official reasons, premise, and so forth, I'll need to refer you to the
website (gcpr.gov), as I cannot formally speak for the project.
