Re: A Tale of Modern Electronic Medical Record Sof

Nice analogy, I applaud the sentiment but worry about how the reality of hardware fits into the picture. The biggest EMR company has standardised the glass and the fog horns and forced them to fit one design (tm) which no-one else can afford to build, so the rest of the world just supplies those parts while one or two small lighthouse companies try to build alternatives.

Mr FOSS is ignored by captains because they are in a rut (or too scared, or too over extended) and cannot get away from the MurkyInsightClandestineRockyOutcropSeashoreOutlineFlameTemples company.

But perhaps things work differently in EMRville.
