It's not really a crusade. More like a "project". With many comitted
players--more than 4000 extant local, regional and sectoral health
networks. And the same sort of technologies mentioned in thde
discussions of changing legal practive in this thread--PKI and other
authentication tools that are recognized under eSign and the state
implementations of the UETA--to accompish interoperability of the data
exhanges and transparent access to the required elements of the
"virtual" patient record.

The Markle reports really lay out the best of the collective wisdom of
health informatics, health engineering, clinical practice, health
"industry" and others--each of which discipline house some "true
believers" willing to compromise their own unilateral "best interest"
in favor of a colelctive "common good." What a revolutionary
concept--think of it--GE, Mass General, HCA, St. Paul, Pharma and
dozens of others all agreeing to try to achieve the same thing. Maybe
it will blow up before being fully realized--just like HCCC (health
care cost contianment) did after the insurers figured out how to co-opt
"preferred provider" in the '80s.
