My takeaway, "... consider some other ways to profit from the EHR boom. Software will need to be written that will interface with these integration platforms and make it easier for those doctors and their staffs to navigate their patients’ histories. Customized devices, like tablets and handhelds, will need to be sold to those same doctors. Or perhaps some will prefer customized apps for their smartphones. If you’re not a hardware or software person don’t worry: all of this change will require services too – consulting, training, project management and support. "

Consulting, training, and support currently represents the vast majority of revenues generated by the Health IT industry. In 2010 the top 25 HIT companies grossed over $26.7 billion, but on average, only 22% of revenue for each came from software. http://www.healthcare-informatics.com/article/healthcare-informatics-100-companies-revenue?page=show http://www.healthcare-informatics.com/article/healthcare-inf...
