Something I wrote a while back about this [0]. To summarize, it's not the lack of technology, rather it's the financial disincentivization of vendors and lack of leadership by providers.

My proposed solution is government regulation in order to level the playing field by way of EMR certification and/or tax-centivization. The goal should not be to pick a standard but rather set the rules:

- if you create data you offer public docs and/or SDKs to grok that data

- if you store data you offer public docs and/or SDKs to access that data
