What do Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google have in common?
Eric Schmidt, Chairman (and former President) of Google, coined the term “Gang of Four” in referring to the similar platform/application technical architecture and business models of these companies. In the case of Apple iOS and Google Android OS, much of the value is created by the 500K+ applications built on these platforms, not just by the platform themselves.
So four of the largest, most successful companies in the world are built on platforms — what does this imply for health care? Are “platforms” in health care a “Nice to Have” or a “Must Have”?

Platforms are the future- as "EMR Extender Tools" will increase the power, usability and functionality of EMRs! http://t.co/8yrAiZ6A
I agree with the platform perspective, I remember reading an article that talked about creating an eMR/eHR “OS” environment. In the end the data has to be inter-operable and consumable by other tools.
