I live in one of the highly contaminated municipalities-- almost everyone here is doing GAC (granular activated carbon) on all water entering the home, and Reverse Osmosis at point-of-use. Idea being that the GAC gets a good amount of the problem filtered out for water you might use topically, and GAC+RO for drinking, cooking, etc. ideally gets almost everything for water you ingest. RO is not good at providing high flow rates without giant reserve tanks, so it's a reasonable trade off. The cost is not bad, each system is a couple hundred bucks, and simple enough to DIY install if you're so inclined.

Both Epic and Cerner are making at least some strides toward opening up their platforms (Epic with App Orchard, and Cerner with Ignite, SMART on FHIR etc.) Athena has MDP ("More Disruption Please.") I get the feeling these organizations have at least come to the realization that they need to open up--granted their denial up to this point leaves them with a lot of catching up to do. But access to the data that exists in those systems is a pretty big carrot for integration partners to help push adoption.
