hopefully there will be a pile-on to share healthcare data:
"Medical
facilities and doctors all have their own ways of communicating and
distributing medical information much of it hard copy," Scott Handy,
vice president of worldwide Linux and open source at IBM, told internetnews.com.
"There is no good way to transmit medical information because there was no standard."
Even
with a standard in place, solutions would still be difficult to come
by, which is why IBM is open sourcing an implementation of a health
care information exchange standard.
