Poll: Can Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft really solve healthcare's interoperability problem?

Take our quick survey and we’ll report the results back to you.
By Healthcare IT News , Staff

Last week during the White House Blue Button 2.0 Developer Conference, six of the most dominant technology vendors pledged to tackle one of healthcare’s hardest problems: data interoperability.
 
The lineup is impressive: Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and Salesforce.

The natural question, then, is can the big guns pull this off? Answer below and we will share the results.
