Both Mayo Clinic and IBM are now openly acknowledging the benefits of open source as we see with their newly announced partnership. Mayo Clinic and IBM will work together to create a website that logs a consortium of open source health technologies and processing languages. The purpose of it is to ultimately allow for physicians to search years worth of health data from large EMR systems to understand better the specific cases around the country/or world that deal with a health issue that are seeing. This will allow for physicians to be more informed on health issues and see what diagnoses have worked and which ones haven't. Therefore, physicians should be better equipped in terms of knowledge of the issue in making decisions on how to treat the issue.
