As I write this, it appears that Barack Obama has won the nomination as the Democrat's presidential candidate. Whether he does what he says in his health care program is left to be seen (see my previous post).
However, the health care industry seems to be coming together in a strong way. Both the combination of health care providers and telecom providers teaming up to create use cases that set the context for solutions. Continua Health Alliance is such a forum.
Creating such use cases with consumer-citizens at the center -- or consumer-citizen centered design -- can significantly help accelerate the process of creating solutions where software and services meet. See also this post on my other blog
Microsoft is agressively building the Amalga brand. This is definitely a space to watch as they attempt to link the enterprise and online worlds (hospitals and consumer). Expect more acquisitions in the health care sector.
