Let me try to explain my view again: There's basically three areas related to health care: 1) Practice 2) Science 3) Clinical Research Frontline doctors are interested pretty much in 1) only. This is where GNUmed and Vista fit in. 2) is what scientist are concerned about (those that eventually want to make doctors use new drugs etc). This is where all the scientific applications come in. Eventually there's a few brave doctors and scientist who bridge the gap from the Ivory Tower of High Science to the smelly trenches of Point of Care patient interaction. Those want GLIF (& friends) and OpenClinica. The latter makes aggregated patient data palatable to the scientist while the former distills theoretical knowledge into guidelines which then may or may not be applicable to individual patients.
