> They can't afford to pay developers to build and maintain all of the functionality now required due to federal interoperability rules
Yep, and more and more payors - government and private - are demanding systems that are both interoperable and audiable

As opposed to the Epic MUMPS pile?
Epic has been sold in in Denmark and Finland, where it was a disaster, and then in Norway, where they failed to take lessons from the disasters. I don't think it's federal requirements which is the selling point there, though I wonder what the hell the selling point is, or what the Epic sales people put in acquirers' coffee.
