The existing electronic health records landscape is incredibly fragmented. I read a post somewhere recently that listed 400 different EHR businesses. The interoperability problems are the same ones that the internet experienced in the early days. Little standards, different platforms, siloed data. I think the interesting opportunities are in developing applications that help medical practices fulfill the "meaningful use" criteria. Each individual module can be fulfilled using specific technology, that doesnt necessarily need to be certified. For example, a practice can use one technology to fulfill their CPOE requirement while using a completely different vendor to do Clinical Decision support. You can be the go to player for a specific module.
