An average practice could have the need to interface 5 different systems to the EMR within its practice then add on the interface to exchange information outside the practice and you get a better picture why healthcare providers are not investing in interoperability.
Carl Howe, vice president of research at Yankee Group, a Boston-based research and advisory firm focusing on mobile technology, says a significant advantage for Apple is that it convinced automakers to add a button for its interface into their vehicles.
For example, configuration options that appeal only to power users -- device administrators, security credentials and USB debugging -- are still accessible from the Easy Experience settings menu, which add needless complexity to an otherwise simplistic interface.
