A Modest Interoperability Challenge

Demographics. That's it. Just demographics. Copy and Paste. You don't even need to transmit them even though that would be okay. Mandate that every application generate an XML page with name, DOB, address, phone that can be copied and pasted and interpreted correctly into every other medical application. Just works, nearly every time. Surely these huge corporations and governments and lawyers and regulators with their millions and billions can manage just this one insignificant thing that is actually useful? Right? Right? This is NOT CCR/CCD. Just demographics. No gold plating. Positive attitude everyone!
