New poll takes pulse of HL7 profession

RALEIGH, NC | October 15, 2012

A recent survey of healthcare professionals who deal with HL7 integration, conducted by Core Health Technologies, finds some interesting facts about their use of technology, knowledge of programs such as meaningful use and strategies for information security.

Charlie Rogers, CEO of Core Health, which specializes in technology integration and security, calls the integration market "one of today’s most dynamic spaces in healthcare and in technology."

His firm polled some 1,350 individuals – CIO, CTOs, IT managers and other HL7 professionals – seeking to gauge their feelings on the state of technology, organizational priorities, meaningful use preparedness and confidence in interface software vendors.

Health Level Seven International (HL7) is a not-for-profit, ANSI-accredited organization that develops healthcare interoperability standards.

Among the findings from Core Health's survey:

Michael Milligan say: Why the drop in market share?

October 16, 2012 | 19:07 PM GMT

-- "'One interesting observation is that the Oracle/Sun/SeeBeyond product line of DataGate, e*Gate, ICAN and JCAPS has declined pretty significantly over the last three years, from 34 percent in 2010, passing through 17 percent in 2011, and now rating around below 7 percent in 2012,' wrote Core Health officials." --

As a Healthcare IT ISV and an Oracle Certified Professional several times over, I follow Oracle closely. This is a very precipitous drop in market share. It's not typical of Oracle to allow something like this to happen. Why do you suppose it is? Is there something going on that would lead Oracle to abandon real development in this specific area? They're very big in the other areas across Healthcare and Life Sciences.

Thanks in advance,
