Hello Mr. Antas, I totally agree with you: "It is the best and most lucid analysis..."
The only criticable thing to me it seems, that they seem to have rather high degree of heterogencity of IT-systems in use. They seem to relay on propriate technologies, mostly MS-Win etc. and they mostly depend on what their "vendors" sell them. Not a singel word on "Linux" or "open source software" or "vendor-independent development". I happened to find Barry Jacobs talks to John L. Haughom M.D., Senior VP, Health Care Improvement Division of PeaceHealth here: http://www.hctproject.com/documents.asp?d_ID=1628 on the HCT Health Care Technolgy http://www.hctproject.com/ site, which seems to be very relevant also for Care2x. Unfortunately it contains no reference on Care2x (not even on "open source" in general). May be that fact (of not beeing found) should be changed ?
