Wellness and interop patient data

[Saifi Khan]

Hi all:

Is wellness and interop patient data the next big opportunity
for Open Source solution providers to tap ?

I think it is a big opportunity to tap into, from my personal experience
non of the hospitals have implemented IT for record up keep. In one of
the hospitals I saw doc have Apple comps on the desk, but non of them
seem to use it. The docs are in there mid 40's and 50's it would be
challenge to encourage them to migrate from their daily routine. Hence
the system should be extremely simple and user friendly.
