RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:EMRs as potential barrier to entry for telemedicineDOC is led by a Doc who started out using technology to facilitate doctoring. He has/had his own point of view as to what he wanted the tech to do, hence his adaptation of OSCAR rather than only OSCAR. As a Doctor he probably wants to be in total control of everything. Open source softaware may not please him.
WELL is led by a techie who sees OSCAR and consolidation of clinics etc by acquisition rather internal growth (generically). as a way to make lots of money. Open sorce software doesn't bother him. He leaves other techies to develop stuff and then acquires it.
That is how I look at the situation. Both seem quite competant at what they are doing, but they come at the game from opposite sides.
