I agree that there is a lot of competition, but the competition doesn't result in much clinical innovation. Most health care IT systems still look like a SAP system, don't have social graph features, don't have built-in BI for the average end-user and don't have decision support implemented in an automated way that fits the execution system well. Even such a simple feature like Single-Sign-on has not been widely implemented, yet - it's really ridiculous that doctors have to spend time on signing into a computer or system. Unlike many other IT users, doctors can use many PCs during a day, and as long as software doesn't support that flawlessly without taking the doctor's time, the technology is inadequate.
