As I told a developer earlier this week, trying to disrupt healthcare is like starting an avalanche by tossing pebbles at a boulder. Between institutions, carriers, and the godawful state of interoperability technologies (I've been on the standards committees, I accept my share of the blame), it's essentially impossible to really advance the state of the art, even though there's a real need for technology that helps enable the organizational advances in clinical practice we've seen over the past several years.
