Sorry, dude, but I think you fell for it. These entities try to make you think they're open, but really they are keeping entrants at bay.

Here's an interesting episode of the weeds podcast that gives some context by exploring why the fax machine is still so prevalent in US healthcare.

You haven't addressed the point that jeremylee made about the SMART on FHIR platform now available in those EMRs. It's not a complete solution but it works today and people are building real applications on it. Take a look at the demos from the latest HL7 FHIR Applications Roundtable. https://www.hl7.org/events/fhirapps.cfm
