Comparison of Proprietary Systems

GE (http://www.gehealthcare.com/usen/index.html) has an extremely developed offering basis for health care IT software systems. They focus more on the organization as opposed to the individual. Siemens, Epics Systems, Cerner, and IBM are all similar in who they target their products to.

Microsoft and Google, however, tailor to the individual. Google is a pioneer in providing the individual with the power to control their health and records. Microsoft is following this direction while at the same time tailoring another portion of its offerings to the health care providers as well. Microsoft Vault is one of the only truly all encompassing offerings yet found.
