Congratulations on this collaboration...Dear John,<br /> <br />Congratulations on this collaboration! In today’s acquisition frenzy (got your news and news on<br />Cerner-Siemens HS deal <br />within 10 min-s), these are rare news about two of the very best organizations joining their forces in such a non-trivial approach! <br /><br />And let’s hope that this collaboration will be well-managed and result in greater service for patients and providers at scale and cost w/out compromising the quality. And please continue to update us on its progress.<br /> <br />We really appreciate that you are always so open with the community! I hope that you take time to reap the benefits of the work that you have done, because you are a trailblazer and we are all so grateful for your work.<br /> <br />With enormous appreciation, Gene<br /><br />____________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br />Eugene Kolker, PhD; Chief Data Officer, Seattle Children's; Director, Bioinformatics & High-throughput Analysis Lab, SC Research Institute; <br />Professor, University of Washington, Seattle and Northeastern University, Boston; Executive & Founding Editor of OMICS & Big Data journals<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640518481259703863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-80396193425371127992015-02-04T18:36:10.125-08:002015-02-04T18:36:10.125-08:00The intent is to use an open application program i...The intent is to use an open application program interface that enables third party apps and other EHRs to read/write data to the cloud hosted EHR.
