Every time healthcare is brought up, every administration statement, every bit of news, it is somehow brought back around to PDSG. What I was trying to point out was that the field is far bigger than just PDSG and that PDSG isn't the only partner HP has in it.

I know PDSG CDX is not EMR. I have stated that many times, here even, but inevitably every time EMR is in the news, someone links it to PDSG. I am tired of banging my head against the "CDX is not EMR" wall and just took the simple route; demonstrating that PDSG isn't HP's only partner and that the field is larger than just data exchange. I got lazy. I appreciate you making the distinction and I do understand what it is.

I am intimately familiar with a $2B revenue medical center that is doing it's own integration for its various entities on Epic, Cerner, and Eclinicalworks. They have decided to do it in-house. I believe other large institutions will go the same route. Clinical reporting and other tasks necessiate a full in-house staff already, a staff that can monitor data exchange if the IS department is robust enough to set it up in the first place.

Smaller institutions and/or rural networks may be PDSG targets but I disagree that GEHS and Cerner (and others) aren't in competition. They want to be the standard that renders CDX providers useless. Alternatively, they may choose to back an open standard to eliminate indecision amongst customers and to be able to leverage their size.

I'm not saying that PDSG and its CDX has no potential, I'm saying that just becuse they are an HP partner and just because healthcare and EMR is constantly in the news, it doesn't mean PDSG is a market leader poised to integrate the entire nation's health data sources. This is what I'm seeing bandied about.

I do appreciate your thougtful commments.

In your opinion, what is the direct competition to PDSG's CDX?
