Link. Innovation – some have argued that meaningful use led to the growth of a small number of vendors and dependency/lock in with those vendors. Meaningful Use Stage 2 requires interoperability between vendors, export of data from EHRs to reduce lock in, and standards that will enable a new generation of modular “plug ins”. I’m confident that SHARP grant funded work, like the SMART initiative will lead to an ecosystem of applications from small vendors – an app store for health.”
