This is today, next will be Epic's ability to share information with other vendor's software using HL7's Clinical Documentation Standard (CDS) - assuming States don't have laws preventing the technology and organizations can come to legal agreements. http://wistechnology.com/articles/6002/ and http://www.iienet2.org/uploadedfiles/SHS_Community/Resources/Linking%20Records%20from%20Separate%20EHRs%20Becomes%20a%20Reality.pdf Actually, Epic is the only vendor/software that allows any organization live on the Epic software to seamlessly exchange information = Care Everywhere.

Aren't they about the same size and about equally uninterested in having data in their systems standardized enough to easily share? I'm with Bev MD. Maybe Epic is the biggest of the bad players, but not by much and when you include the interests of health systems they collectively overwhelm the interests of EHR vendors, and are a bigger problem.

You might mention it to him. I also certainly did not mean to imply that Epic is the only foot dragger in the crowd, but I hope you'll forgive me if I believe they're deserving of special mention.

And the large hospital systems, for that matter, which don't WANT these systems to be interoperable, so as to have a captive patient population? How about ALL the major vendors?
