Do you have the capabilities in your cybersecurity team to try to figure out how to go help them? Is there some kind of cybersecurity arrangement in your agreement that you will help them? All these contracts are built differently but being conservative would be my recommendation. Be conservative and make sure that your ecosystem is as secure as you can make it, because the last thing you want is for the host to become contaminated.

Transparency communicates trust. I trust you to make the right decision. The problem with healthcare is we are arrogant. We believe the consumer doesn't know enough about health to make the right decision. And instead of informing them, we care for them by keeping information from them. We need to change the mindset.

Bill Russell, This Week in Health IT

Interoperability is the biggest thorn in clinicians sides. When I'm in the exam room I think about it constantly. I can't see where my patient went when they got their colonoscopy. And someone has to fax it to me if I ask three times. Then I'll get a piece of paper on my desk.
