We are using it to test the exchange of mental health data since this allows us to negate any concerns about scary data-bases. ;-)<br /><br />Of course most people don't realize that even your secure email is in fact stored someplace vs for example using a carrier pigeon to ensure delivery.@cascadia Sherry Reynoldsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201874739367831894.post-31801531763008755632012-03-21T10:51:46.636-05:002012-03-21T10:51:46.636-05:00John, Really helpful explanation about the Direct....John, Really helpful explanation about the Direct.<br /><br />I want to stress upon one point, what ever may be the technology used, it should be easy for healthcare professional to adopt it. <br />If technology is complex, there should be a nice package (Application) to hide the details and expose what matters most to them. I guess Direct failed to attract Vendor community (to build Apps) that is busy with MU implementations.Sammohnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201874739367831894.post-73250830589120753442012-03-19T11:28:53.895-05:002012-03-19T11:28:53.895-05:00Dear Anonymous,

I actually see far more real-world use of exchange based HIE than I do Direct. It brings with it more deterministic behavior and supports more real-life use-cases.

The WWW is just HTTP and HTML is just a dialect of the infinite complexity of XML. Sometime simple just works. What is this holy grail everyone is working towards. It sure seems off in the distant future. So why are we not trying to solve the problem with what we have now. I mean if Cavemen waited for Viking ranges to cook their food, we'd all still be eating berries and twigs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
