“Is it possible to create mashups of each of these groups such that instead of having billions of billions of permutations, we have just a few? A mash-up is a Web page or application that integrates complementary elements from two or more sources. That one sentence used up the entirety of what I know about the topic. I don’t know enough about it to know if the technology will work with EHR, however that is not my point. What I am pushing for is that we look at the concept of using mashups. If the concept is sound, then let’s figure out the technology that would be needed to drive it. I think a solution along these lines is what is needed to have a working national EHR system.”
