Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft Pursue Portability Among Web Services
I have been blogging aboutinteroperability between hospital EHRs for nine years. Here's my first note that used this term: Do Hospitals Really Want Interoperable E-Health Records?.

This is sometimes referred to as health dataportability (see, for example:Hospitals as a Major Barrier to the Pursuit of EHR Interoperability).Warning: if x-ray and pathology test results and digital images are included in such a download, such files may be huge.

This market need was driven by the large amount of data generated in these labs and also because numerical data was relatively easy to manage and report as opposed to textual data. The earliest anatomic pathology systems, now referred to as AP-LISs, were initially similar to word processors and were designed to publish surgical pathology reports.LISs, managing mainly numerical data from C...
